ME READING STUFF episodes

October 08, 2015 Rilke on Love and Other Difficulties & Valéry Larbaud "The Gift of Oneself"
Every day is a good day to read Rilke, especially when he reminds us to celebrate the burdens of life and love and all sorts of other shit. I also read Valéry Larbaud who seems totally cool with laying bare his soul for others to consume. Sound familiar? Take everything I am, Robyn
p.s. if you'd like to win a personal podcast by yours truly, please support my friends over at Free Beer Podcast. They'll be having a fundraiser in Austin on October 17th. Details here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1700959660139337/

October 01, 2015 C.K. Williams "Shame" & Vasko Popa "Before the Game"
I hadn't even stretched or breathed yet this morning when recording this one, so you get to hear me wake up. A dream come true, I'm sure. These are some poems that I had to cut out of previous podcasts due to time constraints. The C.K. Williams one rips me apart. If you've ever felt humiliated, it'll get to you for sure. I'm humiliated. Often. With love, yr girl Robby

September 28, 2015 Etheridge Knight - Feeling Fucked Up
Even though I wanted to read this poem to you, what I REALLY want is for you to go listen to Tracy Morgan read it on Def Poetry Jam. So do that! And have a wonderful day, week, year, life. Be kind to yourself. Drink lots of water. Eat an apple. Write letters. Do your thing.
