I can't very well list all of the poets I love. I've been an avid poetry reader since I was 13 years old. Feel free to check out some recommended poems in "Mines of Rich Matter" . My current obsession: Tony Hoagland |
"There had not been this many words sounded in our house for a long time, and it was going to take a while to clean them out." ~Merricat Blackwood, We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson |
Many people say that their musical interests are extremely diverse-- but mine truly are. For example, "2015 Playlist" . Also, I have a particular fondness for Phil Ochs. You can listen to and read about tons of his music here: "On the Fringe" |
Impossible to choose favorites really. Let's stick to the movies I've seen the most times: The Sleepaway Camp TRILOGY (the new one does not count), Natural Born Killers, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Big Lebowski. |
Tales from the Crypt, The Twilight Zone (original), Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Tales from the Dark Side, Punky Brewster (just because) |
