Don’t Kick Food!

Every Sunday morning this month, I will be posting a recording of me reading a poem I really like as part of truespies’ All-Literative April.

As an added bonus, I will be running that recording through the remaining time I have on my Microsoft Songsmith trial.

This week I’ve recordedSweeney Among the Nightingales. Don’t forget the Songsmithed version.

I don’t have much to write about Eliot – The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock was required reading in my junior year of high school, but aside from that I didn’t read much of him until college. I recall thinking Prufrock was whiny and that he should just get over himself. I was an asshole.

Initial encounters with The Wasteland were deterred by the overwhelming number of footnotes – how could I know what was going on if I didn’t get the references?

And that’s all I have to say about that because this weekend was insane and this didn’t publish when I thought I had scheduled it to.
