    what's been making you feel

    Poetry is supposed to make you feel things, and today, the dudes are loving feelings. Bob reads "Contemplating The Cod" by Belle Ling, Chris reads "POEM ENDING WITH SOME ADVICE" by Heather Cristle, and then the guys talk about how much better off every team in the NBA is except the ones that they cheer for.

Today, Bob reads "Strata" by Richard Siken, Chris reads "Eb Major" by Percival Everett, and then the dudes talk about basketball players they wished they'd watched more.

Bob reads "Everything's a Fake" by Fanny Howe, Chris reads"Lupine Nocturne" by Elise Paschen, and then the dudes pine for a Jokic-Giannis Finals in 2026.

    AWP 2025 AND BOB'S BOOK CAME OUT

    Another AWP in the books! We didn't have the energy for guerilla poetry again this year, but we also have something to celebrate: the release of UTOPIANS IN LOVE! Bob's book dropped just before AWP started, and you should both request it at your local library and order it from Game Over Books. On top of all that, the lads discuss conference panels, offsite reading, and street food. Apologies for the weird audio, recording in hotel rooms is not something we do all the time.
