    🎙️The 11th Anniversary Special: The Poem That Started It All – "The Man on the Dump"

    🎙️ The 11th Anniversary of ME READING STUFF 🎂Dear listener, Well, we've officially been kicking it for ELEVEN YEARS. Through vasectomies, divorce, mystery illnesses, breakdowns, fevers, estrangement, Covid, moves, near-death experiences, remarriage, Las Vegas hotel rooms, heart surgeries, parenthood, hauntings, and meetings with the ©️Kleenex company. Think of how much water we've drunk since 2015. I wonder how many books we threw across the room? Who remembers when Channing Tatum wrote us erotic poetry? And what the hell was "Robyn's Gate"? To celebrate this anniversary, I’m reading you the very same poem I read in the very first episode — Wallace Stevens’ “The Man on the Dump.” I also respond to your questions in "Answer Corner."Whether you’ve been listening since 2015 or this is your first time — I’m really glad you’re here. And honestly? I'm really glad I'm still here, too.Let's keep doing this. I'll see you next time. You doing more than enough. (But maybe make a dentist appointment. And organize your nightstand. And drink more water.)With so much love and appreciation, RobynLINKS:Buy The Collected Poems of Wallace StevensMy WEBSITEMy INSTAGRAMMy SHOPMy Substack

    Dionne Brand – "Islands Vanish" from Nomenclature

    This week marks the return to THROWING BOOKS ACROSS THE ROOM!!!! So exciting. Dionne Brand's "Islands Vanish" really had me feeling all sorts of things. It was a pleasure to read it to you.  I extend appreciation to her for "hunting for slave castles with a pencil for explosives." Not many hunt so rigorously. It's shattering. This episode also includes an impassioned Recommendation Corner, a Mini Question Corner, and I talk about a steakhouse for an awfully long time. I did it all for the caperberries. Thank you, as always, for listening.xoxo, RobynLINKS Buy Dionne Brand's NOMENCLATURE Check out my Youtube My Instagram My Substack My Website My Shop The Finch App Rituals Incense  Better Booch
