Melissa Clancy brings a long-standing beef with John Donne to the show this time. Medieval gender essentialism, poetry for bros, and more are on the table, including, for some reason, Neil Gaiman and Susanna Clarke.

Melissa’s poem: John Donne, “Song [Go and catch a falling star]” ( http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44127/song-go-and-catch-a-falling-star )

Neal’s poem: Michael Drayton, “Idea 61 (Come, let us kiss and part)” ( (http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44153/idea-61-since-theres-no-help-come-let-us-kiss-and-part )
