Steve I liked the second poem What Voice at Moth-Hour it was beautiful in my opinion. It sounded like a memory he had once as a child. In the end he was remembering himself when he was a child. I really liked hearing you read the poem. I like hearing poems read out loud.
Hi, Steve! Fellow Penn Warren reader here (in the past). We've talked before, and this is just a friendly reminder that a promise you issued during your Daily Penguin video on Byron's unfinished satirical epic, "Don Juan", about five years ago, I believe is a promise approaching its due-date - that being the promise of a "Penguin classic redux tour," as, I believe, you put it. I believe those were your words, Mr. St. Donoghue. Though I can't - cannot - verify. It has - 'tis - been some time, and whenever I type in Don Juan into RUclips, I get the lovely sequence of fantasy operas by Liszt. My friend Reid and I have been trading classical, and I'm sure Hannah would sympathize.
"in a premature night of cedar beech oak" - "sky skittering high of a dull bull bat" looks like words on a page rather than beautiful - or easy - to say
Finally we are getting to the parts we’ve all been waiting for… 😂 I do like Ginsberg though, I think you said at some point you didn’t like the howl… I think that might have been the first poem I actually went out and bought! I did like these two poems too, but yeah a bit mediocre, nice though.

Wow Steve, that first one stank and the second was powerfully average. Do appreciate the exposure. Is the other great political novel by Gore Vidal?
Gore Vidal! He wishes! No, of course I mean Edwin O'Connor's "The Last Hurrah."
