ME READING STUFF

The ending of this one unravels facets of sapiosexuality, something I'm both close to & agonized by. Please buy "Danger and Beauty", the book from which this sturdy poem came. Jessica Hagedorn, I love you. This poem throbs.

When one thinks of Las Vegas, one immediately thinks of Carson McCullers, am I right? Please enjoy a beautiful passage from The Ballad of the Sad Cafe, as recommended to me by the incomparable artist Jesse Wiedel. I love you guys. Truly, Robyn

With many thanks to all who entered, we have our winners! I wish I could have chosen all of you, but the contest winners are "Em" and "David Drury"! Congratulations to them both. I hope you enjoy my readings of these two magnificent entries. And while I did not do either of them justice, I had a goddamn BLAST with these pieces. Em's complex rendition of Donald Barthelme's "Concerning the Bodyguard" was truly mind-blowing. And David's tender understanding of Channing Tatum's inner difficulties was both touching and arousing. The words "chiseled confusion" sum it up nicely.

Em has nothing to plug because she remains a mystery. David can be found on twitter @DavDrury (highly recommend following him) & also at @jeffbreakfast. Also, listen to Tennis Pro! You won't regret it!

Today, I finally read the master Walt Whitman. I guess I didn't read him to you yet because it seemed so obvious? I decided to read part 1 & 2 of Song of Myself in case there are any newcomers to Whitman. This is a great place to start. We'll do some deep cuts at a later date. IMPORTANT! DEADLINE for the CHANNING TATUM erotic poetry contest is tonight, midnight Pacific Time. I'll announce the winner on Thursday!

I was full with medium-level energy as I recorded this on my balcony for you this morning. Here is just one of the fantastic lines you'll get to hear today if you listen to this episode: "I would like to be the air that inhabits you for a moment only. I would like to be that unnoticed & that necessary." I decided to make this a Margaret Atwood week. Today is her poetry. Please enjoy. Please buy any of her many books. Wishing you all well today, as always. XO, Robyn
