00:00:00.930 --> 00:00:03.090 align:middle line:84%
The poetry scene
is not interesting.

00:00:03.090 --> 00:00:05.610 align:middle line:90%
Poetry scene is ephemeral.

00:00:05.610 --> 00:00:08.250 align:middle line:84%
What is in a magazine
or any set of magazines,

00:00:08.250 --> 00:00:09.720 align:middle line:90%
any particular month?

00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:11.430 align:middle line:84%
To soothe yourself,
go back and read

00:00:11.430 --> 00:00:13.590 align:middle line:90%
the magazines of 40 years ago.

00:00:13.590 --> 00:00:17.460 align:middle line:84%
They probably have
them in this building.

00:00:17.460 --> 00:00:22.740 align:middle line:84%
Read the poetry magazines of 20
years ago, a hundred years ago.

00:00:22.740 --> 00:00:24.810 align:middle line:84%
There's a wonderful--
Robert Garrick, the actor,

00:00:24.810 --> 00:00:26.760 align:middle line:90%
wrote a wonderful couplet--

00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:27.450 align:middle line:90%
quatrain.

00:00:27.450 --> 00:00:30.040 align:middle line:90%
He wrote this quatrain.

00:00:30.040 --> 00:00:33.790 align:middle line:84%
"The gentle reader
loves the gentle muse

00:00:33.790 --> 00:00:36.400 align:middle line:84%
that little knows
and little means,

00:00:36.400 --> 00:00:40.180 align:middle line:84%
but humbly sips its learning
in reviews and flutters

00:00:40.180 --> 00:00:41.380 align:middle line:90%
in the magazines."

00:00:41.380 --> 00:00:43.340 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:43.340 --> 00:00:46.750 align:middle line:84%
My suggestion is to read
the magazines of the past

00:00:46.750 --> 00:00:50.320 align:middle line:84%
and to buy this book
that Dolly Spalding has

00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:52.500 align:middle line:90%
and look at the videos.
