A laundry list of observations, a man startlingly similar to an automated assembly line, and the question of happiness and freedom. This episode inspects these and the threads that bind them into the themes of W.H. Auden's The Unknown Citizen.  Instagram: ⁠⁠@icoulthinkofverse Transcript: https://rb.gy/hv45eh Background Score: Ceremonial Medley: United States Marine Band | Glass Of Wine: Monument_Music/Pixabay

A window in a village, Mars (of all things!), the Moon (not unsurprisingly), winds, canyons, Neptune and a skyscraper find themselves strung into a poem of 12 lines. Is that a scandal? Or what they’ve been asked by Lola Ridge to portray? This episode and the preceding two (SE01E21 and SE01E22) try to interpret that very portrait.  Instagram: ⁠@icoulthinkofverse Transcript: https://bit.ly/3taMIrQ Sound Effects: Pixabay.com

The Christ, St. Peter, and the dogmatic typical are the cast of characters in Hoshang Merchant’s The Father Archetype.  On display are Peter’s fate and Jesus, the Son of God; and ideally that’s what you’d expect the poem to concern itself with. But remember, we have Merchant welding its verses together. So does it limit itself to that? Or does it crack open into spaces an archetype hasn’t ventured into before? This episode delves into that very investigation.    Instagram: @icoulthinkofverse Transcript: https://bit.ly/45KEchb Background Score: Fun Disco 1: Musictown (Pixabay.com) | Fruits of Life : Jimena Contreras | Agnus Dei X - Bitter Suite: Kevin Macleod Agnus Dei X - Bitter Suite by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://www.amazon.com/Agnus-Dei-X/dp/B00QGC7W3Y Artist: http://incompetech.com/

A King. His island. His 18th wife. Flying dragons. Stars. And ships with sails.  All of them star in this poem about what the said king wore to a party.

Depending on the way you look at it, this poem barely has any connection to any phoneme whatsoever; it occupies approximately three hundredth of the space this blurb does; and yet it did, and continues to, stir up quite a whirlpool of interpretation. This episode dives into that very whirlpool—that also swirls with intrigue—about Aram Saroyan’s four-legged triple-humped miniature.    Instagram: icouldthinkofverse Shownotes: https://bit.ly/3OmMBBI Background Score:  Dunes: Pixabay | Amber: VYEN | Dream by Dreams: Monument_Music (Pixabay) | On the Island: Godmode Sound Effects: Garfield Francisco Dsouza and Pixabay Warning: Contains explicit/strong language.
