SLEERICKETS is a podcast about poetry and other intractable problems.

NB: Stallings wrote in to add a note: “I am somewhat mortified to realize that I got Pemberly's situation wrong--of course it is in Derbyshire! Uggh. Don't know if there is a way to edit my Yorkshire comments out, or add a comment there. Austenites will have me for lunch. (Rightly so.)”

My book Midlife now exists. Buy it here, or leave it a rating here or here
