Matthew Belinkie, Peter Fenzel, Jordan Stokes, John Perich, and Matthew Wrather overthink your listener feedback.

This podcast is dedicated to the memory of John Hollander, a great teacher and scholar.

Rippedy-Pippidey

Dr. John Hollander
As of last Saturday
(much for the worse)

can’t be described as the

metapreeminent
living exponent of
metrical verse.

—Jordan Stokes

Figgeldy Higgedly

Dr. John Hollander
Maitre of verse forms that
Others would poach,

Stirring with brilliance,

Est Quod Benedictus, the
Hollandaise-sauciest
Lyrical coach.

—Peter Fenzel
