L'Un Vers L'Autre

I LOVE e. e. cummings. His poetry seems so nonsensical, yet it is so complex, so meaningful. If you haven't read any e. e. cummings poems, or if you didn't even know he was a poet, you MUST read some of his poetry. And don't just skim over it, or else you'll say to yourself, "He had a mental disorder and English must have been an (almost) second language." But no. He was brilliant. So ha. And on to our next topic: I just had the greatest idea. It would be so funny to make a "Writer's Atlas" just making fun of the Writer's Almanac. Ok, so perhaps this is not the greatest idea, but consider this: the adaptive-level phenomenon would cause anyone to be excited over their best ideas even if they were not THE best ideas.

"Writer's Atlas"? Let's do it. And, okay, I have to admit that I have a strange fixation with the Writer's Almanac. For some reason, I just love it. It's definitely strange.

It's kind of a cool idea. I mean, how many podcasts are there about writers? Well, we don't have to make fun of it too much :D just playful banter
