Have you measured out your life in coffee spoons? Feeling like a pair of ragged claws today? Afraid to eat messy food while other people are watching? Or are you just channeling a little too much Polonius? If so, today’s poem–the classic modernist anthem of insecurity and isolation (and mermaids)–will feel very familiar. Happy reading!
Thank you for putting this poem on the podcast. After listening to "Afternoons and Coffee spoons" by Crash Test Dummies yesterday, I needed to check this out, and lo and behold, here it is.
Played this to my undergrad Lyric Poetry students this morning. While I can’t speak for them, I thought you did an excellent job, Sean!
