Diane Seuss

...

I wouldn't come for, you know, the sonnet 'cause Diane Seuss has already done it.

[laughs]

You know what I mean? She can have it.

kind of cool.

So this is from friend of the show, Diane Seuss, and it's from Four-Legged Girl.

Do you remember that spring? The breeze smelled like cake mix and something in the air of sodomy.

Maybe it was the sporea, which reeks of spermatoza and pinesol.

We drove an incinerating car the wrong way up a one-way, rammed into an orifice designed only as an exit ramp.

Remember? I probably said words wrong, but it's the best I could do.

I mean, there's just nobody who lets you have it like Diane Seuss lets you have

it.

I mean, he was born in South Bend, but he became a central figure in San Francisco.

And then friend of the show, Diane Seuss, was born in Indiana.

I

have no

And then it just has this gorgeous ending where I think if people aren't fully convinced by Keats, I think if people read that poem, it might be a further inducement to look a little bit more closely.

Or Diane Seuss.

That's the other place I would point you.

She has a great book that came out a couple years ago called Modern Poetry.

We could link to her book as well.

Yeah,

so if you're not into Keats, try Diane Seuss, and you can get a little Keats through her, and her voice might be a little more accessible for a contemporary audience.

I've been very fascinated by all of this, and at the very least, I think it's given me a lot of things to explore down the road.
