Did you ever want to just slap somebody for their impertinent beauty or outrageous charisma? Leave it to Louise Belcher, 9-year-old heroine of “Bob’s Burgers,” to provide an exquisite string of words to apply to those who would upset our apple carts and knock the wind out of us. Plus—a terribly cursory look at the boy band thing (or more like how disappointed I was by all the haircuts in 7th grade) and Jack Kerouac’s use of the word “angel.”

This episode might be a trainwreck, but it’s a trainwreck poetical. Happy National Poetry Month! And we indulge in an episode all about poetry forms—destined to be our most popular episode yet—with a song surrounding that villain of form, the villanelle. Ok, it’s not a villain at all. It’s actually a pretty fun puzzle to work as you try to say the thing you want to say. But National Poetry Month practically demands a little wordplay, and also, the weather got hot and the poet is exhausted from work and the post office, et al. So bear with this flipped-out episode with occasional hostility, sort of, and dig into some form!!https://www.amazon.com/stores/Amy-Zoellers/author/B09Y2LKG8S?ref=ap_rdr&store_ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=truehttps://sites.owu.edu/tropology/2020/11/25/bar-napkin-11/https://books.google.com/books/about/A_Poet_s_Glossary.html?id=1flJAQAAQBAJ&source=kp_book_description
Happy National Poetry Month Week 2! In which we explore a gallery of troubled poets—who ever heard of a mad poet? Anyone who bothered, that’s who! It’s a lot of feeling to carry around, ok? This poet gig? So we salute Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, Edgar Allan Poe, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Emily Dickinson, Oscar Wilde, Dylan Thomas, and Sylvia Plath — in their respective struggles. And does insanity lead to love, or the other way around? A question to ponder for future days….

A wassail to Christmas cookies, long may they reign!

Spooky October continues to haunt! Hear the tragic story of Sophia Vaile, prominent in Independence, Missouri high society in the late 19th century (along with her husband, Col. Harvey Vaile). The Vailes wanted to bring the swanky artistic flair of Europe to Independence, but their success unraveled when servants blabbed about a scandalous art piece in the bedroom! Sophia died of loneliness, scandal and stomach cancer in 1883. And some say her ghost roams the local cemetery!

From Shel Silverstein to that awkward teacher who “ushered” (!) me into the world of Edgar Allan Poe—to poetry as survival and poetry because you MUST—may this foray into poetics inspire you if only briefly…or take off the top of your head and change you forever! ………………………………….. podcastAminor@gmail.com.

Did you feed your tragic eyebrows? Calling all Mysterious Poet Figures! Once–quite recently–a Russian poet and fiction writer who writes beautifully in English put two words together in an exquisite poem to bygone poets. That little phrase inspired three poems and three songs and probably a whole breathless dreamworld. Rina’s poetry deals with love, queerness, death, illness, anguish, dreams….soak it up as I reveal the origins of the song “Tragic Eyebrows” and spotlight two favorite poets of mine.

(Part 1 of 2!) Let’s talk Vampires!! Officially ushering in Monster of the Month episodes of Aggressive Euphoria. Let’s do this thing. I couldn’t find my childhood paperback about Vampires! But I did watch Salem’s Lot (1979) and read “The Vampyre” by Dr. John Polidori. Diving into the Year Without a Summer (1816), fireside at Villa Diodati (oops I left off the final “i” in my notes and say “Dio-dot!” But perfection is almost as annoying as precocious children, says I)--to Villa Diodati near Lake Geneva — fireside —weird skies in a volcanic winter. And loads of ghost stories!
