Reel Poets Episode 008 Patterson (feat Chris Pineiro)


Listen Later

Renzo kicks us off with an amuse bouche before the Jarmusch as it's Patterson not Paddington in Peru for your perusal then we keep it Reel as per usual -but I hope its as nice for you as it was for us to meet a Reel Chris the Poet in this introspective ep that kept us revving and reeling from start to spinach. Prepare for popped eyes and ears aflame in this dynamite episode that moves fast and furiously past shuffle-boarders and surfers to recast Paul and Jimmy Walkers to reel in Adam Driver.

Shout out William Carlos Williams and poet Ron Padgett plus some Ginsberg, Dante, Frank Ohara and Shunryu Suzuki, but don't sleep on Chris Pineiro AKA Chris the Poet, a high school English teacher who grew into an MFA creative writing student at FIU, armed with a typewriter and voracious appetite for literature and living, savor his words for the first or last dance and take him to the prompt. He's @christhepoet on insta but a man about town throughout Miami.

If you have anything you want to add to the conversation for this or an upcoming episode email us at [email protected] with your own poem inspired by the film.

Keep it Reel.
