Today, we'd like to challenge you to write a poem that repeats or focuses on a single color. Some examples for you – Diane Wakoski's “Blue Monday,” Walter de la Mare's “Silver,” and Dorothea Lasky's “Red Rum.”Poem for TodayThe Color of High School 21 April 24 I remember the scene shop in the theater where other students were tagging the walls with Rush, I was blasting out UB40's Red Red Wine I'd sing that song till my throat turned red Feeling the words touch my soul every time Filling me with hope that I would find a love worthy of that song Drinking the apple wine Night Train with its dark red label When at my lowest points I'd scrawl on my notebooks our mascot the J-Hawk With a gun pointed at his head And the pale blood of loneliness and teen angst splattered against an indicated wall No one saw these depictions Which is probably for the best The walls of some of the hallways glowed when we lost power A high school built initially to be a prison had few windows At least that is how the story went The stoners and the underground kids flicked their lighters And we found our way to the blazing exit signs that always had power The crimson letters guiding us to safety At the D Door Where smoking was tolerated I'd see teachers and students monkey fuck each other To light their cancer sticks and cowboy killers And the rhythmic dull red glow of the embers matched their breathing My high school was a vampire's paradise Gym uniforms, sport uniforms, the carpeted triangle All reflected their devilish desire for blood There was blood at every fight There...

Eric Newman and Medaya Ocher are joined by writer and professor, Dan Sinykin. His new book is called Big Fiction: How Conglomeration Changed the Publishing Industry, which chronicles the many changes publishing has undergone in the past 50 years, starting in 1965 when Random House was bought by an electronics company. Since then we've seen the radical conglomoration of publishing, as small independent houses were bought up by multinational companies, slowly forming the Big Five. Dan writes about the way these changes affected the books we read — what editors buy, what readers expect, and even, what writers write. He covers everything from the rise of mass-market paperbacks to the establishment of prestigious non-profits, hoping to protect literature from the market. Also, Dorothea Lasky, whose new collection of poems is called The Shining, returns to recommend two books: Eileen by OIttessa Moshfegh and Hermetic Definition by H.D.

A LARB Radio Hour double-header Halloween horror special. In the first half, Kate Wolf is joined by the poet Dorothea Lasky to discuss her most recent poetry collection, The Shining. The book is an ekphrastic ode to Stanley Kubrick's classic film, based on the novel by Stephen King. Its poems remix and reimagine the haunted spaces and uncanny elements of King and Kubrick's story in a uniquely personal register, and from a feminist perspective, touching on violence, time, identity, isolation, and creative ghosts. Then filmmaker Anna Biller speaks with Kate and Medaya Ocher about her first book, Bluebeard's Castle, a traditional romance and horror novel that pays homage to the genre while turning it inside out. The book follows a romance writer named Judith who falls in love with Gavin, a man who seems too good to be true. He's aristocratic, rich, handsome and cultured. It is, of course, all very erotic and very misleading. The relationship is both enthralling and as we quickly begin to see, violent and abusive.

Welcome to Congress of the Spirits: a poetry ritual and performance. We wanted to create a sacred space in the airwaves for us to commune in, focusing on nourishing our depleted spirits with poetry that stimulates the imagination and crosses over into the dreamworld in which we can imagine a better future.  Before this magical reading, Claire and Annar offer a short meditative ritual to enter the virtual and imaginative space of the performance, where we can all share in the experience of poetry.  For the ritual: If you have these things (or some of these things) on hand, please gather: a scented item that brings you comfort, a scrap of paper and a writing utensil, and a candle. If not, you just need your imagination. Our Magical Readers: lily someson is a poet and essayist from Chicago. She has obtained a B.A. in Poetry from Columbia College Chicago and is a winner of the 2020 Eileen Lannan poetry prize with the Academy of American Poets, as well as the Spring 2021 Host Publications Chapbook Prize for her chapbook, mistaken for loud comets.

Her first work of nonfiction, The Crying Book, was published in 2019, with translations now appearing in many languages throughout Europe and Asia. She teaches creative writing at Emory University.

Her chapbook What Remains is a collection of poems about longing and loving as a Chicana in Texas.

Fire signs Alex Dimitrov and Dorothea Lasky join us on this week’s episode to discuss poetry, the zeitgeist, and their hotly anticipated new book, Astro Poets: Your Guides to the Zodiac.

Then our editors join with their reading recommendations for the week, including books by Lupita Nyong'o (illus. by Vashti Harrison), Cynthia Hand, Elton John, and Elizabeth Strout. This week also features a sponsored indie interview with Teri Case.

Our new friend "Benadictia" isn't sure how to respond to an ex boyfriend who wants to get back touch. Caroline, Gale and Anne discuss their own experiences with moving on from unfavorable past experiences and men's expectations of women in general, but especially in pop culture. They also suggest great 90s movies, punk songs, a Reba McEntire music video that should be required viewing at every Law School and a very necessary Rihanna quote to help "Benadictia" look toward what's ahead of her instead of what's behind.  Benadictia's pop culture prescription for talking to an ex:  “Your Ex-Lover Is Dead” by Stars (song) Caroline “Shitlist” by L7 (song) Anne “Take it Back” by Reba McEntire (music video) Gale “A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night” (movie) Caroline “Now And Then” (movie) Anne “Never Been Kissed” (movie) Caroline “10 Things I Hate About You” (movie) Caroline “A Letter To my Younger Self” by Ambar Lucid (song) Gale “I’m So Fine: A List of Famous Men and What I Had On” by Khadijah Queen (book of poetry) Gale “Awe” by Dorothea Lasky (book) The Second Lesson, The Second Appurtenance (poem) Anne “Fates and Furies” by Lauren Groff (novel) Caroline “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” (tv show) Caroline “Movin’ On” by Brandy (song) Gale “Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman” by Lindy West (book) Anne “Why Does the Sun Shine?

Dorothea Lasky is the guest. Her latest poetry collection, Rome, is available now from Liveright.  Maggie Nelson says “Dorothea Lasky is one of the very best poets we've got. Her poems radiate weirdness and raw power; you can feel your mind grow new folds as you read them. They lay waste to milquetoast notions of poetic longing or melancholy, and instead go in for the vibrating, bloody facts of sadness, anger, desire, bare life, all returned to us more intensely, strangely, and sometimes comedically, by her words. The line is Lasky's measure, and she wields it like an axe she's been carrying through several lifetimes, that kind of wisdom. Her Rome is huge and intrepid and perfect, a total gift.” And Fanny Howe says “Rome is a trip with the wheels engaged to land at every line ending, then flipped up again. A wholly open-hearted book bringing me back to Bernadette Mayer, Maureen Owen and the suffragettes. True life.” Monologue topics:  holiday gift ideas, support the show, Dorothea reads a poem.

Dorothea Lasky‘s Rome (Liveright, 2014) is a collection that will catch you off guard. Lasky lures the reader in with familiar language and imagery only to have them suddenly realize they’ve been brought to room where the walls wobble and collapse, eternally revealing darker passageways. She is undoubtedly a language poet but also one who sees language as a roadblock. The communication is in the sound. Just as with Hemingway, words are merely an entry point to meaning. Stripped of even punctuation, these lines hurl themselves at the reader. Do not take this economy of language as simplicity. Within it are the layers of desire, grief, betrayal, and rage. Lasky’s speakers embody everything that is human yet alien, familiar and foreign. Emboldened by their own savage humanity, they assert themselves into landscapes and consciousness. But this is not easily won– Lasky lets us into her process, revision, and search for obsession. If she cannot lose herself in the poem then she will not offer it up to the world. When at sixty it might hit you What you’ve given up When your sentimental heart Might let its hair down and see The sun for the first time When you pick up this book, read the lines aloud, impose your will on them, and see where they take you.

Dec. 5, 2013. Dorothea Lasky, the inaugural Bagley Wright Lecturer on Poetry, discussing humanizing aspects of verse. Speaker Biography: Dorothea Lasky has published three collections of poetry. Her poems have appeared in a number of prominent publications, including the New Yorker, Paris Review, and American Poetry Review. Known for her colloquial, even slangy style and dramatic readings, Lasky acknowledges that "there is a kind of arrogance, a kind of supreme power, that when infused with a little real humility and expertise, makes a poem. Because the poem is always about the speaker." Lasky was awarded a Bagley Wright Fellowship in 2013 and is an assistant professor of poetry at Columbia University.
