Not Fit for Composition

Auteur(s): August Smith Eleanor Eli Moss Marcus Khoury
  • Résumé

  • Join August, Eleanor, and Marcus, as we take an acerbic look at the worst excesses of the contemporary poetry landscape: celebrity poetry books, influencer vanity projects, the finest verse of instagram, the flarf, the slam, the alt lit, all of it—we’ll be reading the cream of the crop of the lowest of the brow.

  • Episode 003: Drake's "Poetry" "Book"
    Mar 14 2024

    Due to technical difficulties, this episode is woven together from two separate recordings. So just pretend the jarring cuts aren't there. In this one: August performs an opening monologue about Taylor Swift and AWP; we chat about Josh Brolin's Dune poems; and we're brought to the brink of insanity by "Titles Ruin Everything: A Stream of Consciousness" by Drake and Kenza Samir.


    Songs:

    "NFFC Theme"

    "Mario Kart 8 Theme" - Atsuko Asahi, Soyo Oka

    "Wii Shop Bling" - ToonLink/Nosquist

    "Angel Wings (demo)" - Woe Spiral

    "Floriane Theme" - EVIL MTN
