Of Pastoral Days and Sensuous Nights with Jem Fell

Jem (who clearly loves me the mostest for sitting with me at 3 a.m.) and I natter on and on together about the sappy, soggy Victorians, prejudice, abuses of social power/language as violence and the use of anger in poetry. This shouldn't come as a surprise, as this is what this damn show was made for after all but boy, do I ever fail to keep us on topic...ever. Maybe I should rebrand the show as Whiskey and (If You're Lucky) Poems. Jem reads from their published works as well as from his drafts, and I do everything in my power to not make an ass out of myself. Good art makes you question the nature of reality and artists have a duty to make that good art. Stay safe and take care AND CLICK MY LINKS lol
