October 22, 2012Episode 225: We’re Going To Wasteland
Ben Adams, Peter Fenzel, Mark Lee, and Matthew Wrather are joined by Zack Johnson (Jick on Kingdom of Loathing) to overthink Zack’s trip to Graceland, Ben Affleck’s Argo, the responsibilities of creator and audience when squaring a work of art with historical fact, the importance of footnotes, and, if you can believe it, listener feedback.
We’re not sure when Mark Lee will publish his book separating the good guys from the bad guys in all eras of history, but when he does, we’re sure we want you to buy it through our Amazon affiliate link.

Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Looper
Wallace Stevens
I
Among twenty snowy mountains,
The only moving thing
Was the eye of the looper.
II
I was of three minds,
Like a tree
In which there are three loopers.
III
The looper whirled in the autumn winds.
It was a small part of the pantomime.
IV
A man and a woman
Are one.
A man and a woman and a looper
Are one.
V
I do not know which to prefer,
The beauty of inflections
Or the beauty of innuendoes,
The looper whistling
Or just after.
VI
Icicles filled the long window
With barbaric glass.
The shadow of the looper
Crossed it, to and fro.
The mood
Traced in the shadow
An indecipherable cause.
VII
O thin men of Haddam,
Why do you imagine golden birds?
Do you not see how the looper
Walks around the feet
Of the women about you?
VIII
I know noble accents
And lucid, inescapable rhythms;
But I know, too,
That the looper is involved
In what I know.
IX
When the looper flew out of sight,
It marked the edge
Of one of many circles.
X
At the sight of loopers
Flying in a green light,
Even the bawds of euphony
Would cry out sharply.
XI
He rode over Connecticut
In a glass coach.
Once, a fear pierced him,
In that he mistook
The shadow of his equipage
For loopers.
XII
The river is moving.
The looper must be flying.
XIII
It was evening all afternoon.
It was snowing
And it was going to snow.
The looper sat
In the cedar-limbs.
