“Based on the first episode, I know I’m going to really enjoy this new enterprise of Frank’s. But I think it’s important that he read the full poem before he starts explicating it, as he did with the Stevie Smith poem. To explain as he goes, without letting us hear the full poem first, is akin to only letting us see tiny glimpses of a complete painting out of context, and in this episode Frank even admitted that he wants to look at any painting for a few minutes for reading what’s written on the card beside it.
It’s the same with a poem: read it to us first, in total. Let us get a sense of the whole thing on its own ambiguous but formally complete terms. Then go back and take us through it through your eyes. I feel strongly that this one change of approach will make this a very much-loved podcast indeed! Bravo, Frank!”
