Welcome to the second episode of Season Seven of the Bagley Wright Lecture Series on Poetry podcast.

Season Seven is comprised of lectures written and delivered by Douglas Kearney during his tenure as a Bagley Wright Lecturer. Today we'll hear "#WERWOLFGOALS." This talk was originally given October 8, 2020, at Washington University in St. Louis, via Zoom.

Douglas Kearney discloses the nexus of lycanthropy, a poetics of prepositions, the catharsis hustle, and cinematic special effects in this lecture of private and public myths/truths.
