Episode: Episode 17: Memorization and Susan McCaslin's Corona Corona
Description: Chapter 2 of The Other 23 and a half hours in which I discuss the act of memorization of poems, out of fashion but essential. It doesn't have to be your own. Take the sounds of others within you. They will be there in the dentist's chair then, while on a walk, when traveling. I talk about reciting Jeffers in Cuba. And mostly about my former teacher Susan and read her wonderful mini-corona. Poetry. It's an oral art form first.
