Barbaric Yawps and Righteous Howls – Cries from the American Poetic Heart -Episode 55

Compromised by a cold-induced fogginess of brain which precludes his normal freestyling approach, Dara decides to recite some American poetry from the Confessional School, and cautiously takes on Allen Ginsberg’s Howl as the closing piece of this verse-drenched episode.

You will hear the following poems:

Song of Myself, 52 by Walt Whitman

Daddy by Sylvia Plath

Red Roses, Barefoot and 45 Mercy Street (a fragment) by Anne Sexton

Howl by Allen Ginsberg

A little bit of background and reaction will accompany each piece.
