Clay welcomes fellow Chautauquan Steve Duchrow of Illinois for a conversation about portraying historical characters. Clay does six or seven; Steve portrays the poets Carl Sandburg and Vachel Lindsay. They discuss how to choose a character. How do you prepare for your first performance and the five hundredth? Why is it important not to work from a script? How do you take unscripted questions from the audience in character? Clay and Steve discuss Sandburg, Abraham Lincoln, John Jay, Thomas Jefferson, Meriwether Lewis, and John Steinbeck, among other subjects, about heroism, tragedy, and the intractable contradictions in the human character. What did Oppenheimer mean when he said, “I am become death, the destroyer of worlds?”

This week, Clay Jenkinson's conversation with actor Steven Duchrow about taking on historical characters. Steven has been performing as the poet Vachel Lindsay for many years, but now he is taking on the character of the poet Carl Sandburg. Where do you start? How do you figure out what has to be in any performance whether it is five minutes long or an hour and a half? Once you have done all the research, how do you turn that immense body of information into a solid and entertaining Chautauqua performance? Steven Dukrow provides several superb recitations of poems by Vachel Lindsay and—of course—performs Sandburg's most famous poem: Chicago, Hog Butcher of the World.

To celebrate midsummer and the summer solstice -- and the mix of pagan and Christian elements in some of those celebrations, particularly in Northern Europe -- today I read poems about John the Baptist and about Salome by Vachel Lindsay, Conrad Aiken, Thomas Merton, Ai, Carol Ann Duffy, Eric Pankey, and Dorothy Parker.  I end the program with one of my own poems.

"Listen to the yell of Leopold's ghost, Burning in Hell for his hand-maimed host. Hear how the demons chuckle and yell, cutting his hands off down in Hell." – Vachel Lindsay, The Congo, 1914.

This week, guest and Mydylarama co-founder Judy Harris joins us to discuss the beauty of amateur cinema, community cohesion, gentrification, colourblind casting and the joys of play in Michel Gondry's Be Kind Rewind.  We also touch on the issues around race and casting choices in Netflix hit show Bridgerton.  When she's not doing revisions on a PhD on the utopian film theory of the poet Vachel Lindsay, which the viva panel described as "conceptually ambitious but let down by its organisation" - a statement which could be applied to her whole life - Judy works with community groups at Hackney CVS. As usual, comments and feedback welcome via Twitter @Mydylarama

In 1913, Vachel Lindsay wrote “General William Booth Enters into Heaven.” It speaks of the founder of the Salvation Army. Peggy Noonan cited this poem in a recent column. In 1914, Charles Ives set the poem to music. You will hear it in this episode. Also a Beatles concerto (yes), a rag by an early Metropolitan Opera soprano (yes), some American standards, and, at the end, transcendent Mahler. Jay plays off a good amount of reader mail. An amazingly eclectic, interesting episode. Shchedrin, Piano Concerto No. 1 Robison, “Think Well of Me” Rutter, “Beatles Concerto,” first movement Pinkard-Alexander-Mitchell, “Sugar” Ives, “General William Booth Enters into Heaven” Pinkard-Bernie-Casey, “Sweet Georgia Brown” Case, “Metropolitan Rag” Handel, “Rejoice greatly,” from “Messiah” Mahler, Symphony No. 2, “Resurrection”

The wolf in sheep's clothing is a fable that teaches us about not judging a book by its cover. Just because something looks nice and innocent, does not mean that it is. The little turtle is a cute story about a snapping turtle.

U.S. Election Day “Why I Voted the Socialist Ticket” Vachel Lindsay

As I have suggested in my past few programs, "remembering" and "memory" are major elements in the creation of poetry. There are essential focuses or common themes that poems that include memories often use.  I took a look last time at remembered cities in general. Today I will read poems about San Francisco, by Vachel Lindsay, Robert Penn Warren, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Richard Brautigan, Nellie Wong, Adele Foley, and Diane di Prima.

Forgot to mention, I now have "A Handy Guide for Beggars," by Vachel Lindsay, available on Podiobooks.com.  I went back through all those files I'd recorded for Hiber-Nation, and did the necessary editing to fit them to the Podiobooks standards.  So no, they don't sound any better than they did, but you can use the Personalized Feed mechanism to get the book sent episode-by-episode from beginning to end.So if you liked the book, you could recommend the Podiobooks feed to your friends.  For example.  I'm just sayin'.  I've attached the promo for "Beggars" to the feed, so you'll have a copy you could share, or play on your podcast, if ya wanna.  I'd appreciate that.Thanks!Griz

In 1906, young poet Vachel Lindsay wanders through a dozen states, with no money and no baggage, staying with random strangers, reciting poetry and teaching "The Gospel of Beauty." So, what do you suppose that was like? Wonder why this book was popular in the 1960s & '70s? NOTE: Some use of "The N-Word" on the part of the author, quoted faithfully by me. Sorry if you're offended. Part 1.1 -- Preface through the first story. Music by Kevin MacLeod.
