Animals in that country
Sometimes we all need a little dose of lyrical modernism in a world where we cannot always say what we feel. Romantic poets of the years gone by -- Dickinson, Raleigh, Barret Browning -- gave us some of the most heart-fluttering, eye-watering poetry in history, but when all you have to work with is msn, Rives might be your best inspiration.
Our old friend the poet Rives tells us, in his def jam style, what the internet would be like if he ruled it. Atwood addresses the role of civilization versus nature often in her poetry, so think about how Rives approaches spirituality and technology as you listen and watch.
