With all the heavy talk on the list lately, I agree with Erik Reise that we could use some levity. So, in recognition that April is National Poetry month (even though T.S. Eliot called it the cruelest), I've found a Mpls-related topic.
What's your favorite spot in Minneapolis for poetry? For me, it's the U of M, where I learned most of what I know about poetry, and especially Lind Hall, home of the English department. The late great Gordon O'Brien had a great voice for reading poetry, and I never heard anything funnier in the classroom than his pronunciation of the word "harlot." Here's a brief poem (I feel like Garrison Keillor), not necessarily my favorite: My candle burns at both ends; It will not last the night; But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends-- It gives a lovely light.
