A new episode of The Poet Speaks that ranges across remarks from James Joyce, Thomas Hardy, Steven Soderbergh, my high school teachers, and many others. The question is How best to teach, how best to tell stories?

Any comments, or suggestions for readings I should make in later episodes, can be emailed to [email protected].

I assume that the small amount of work presented in each episode constitutes fair use. Publishers, authors, or other copyright holders who would prefer to not have their work presented here can also email me at [email protected], and I will remove the episode immediately.
