Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Not so fast, sicko. This week we have poet laureate Langston Kerman on to debunk the disgusting and hurtful rumor that poetry is gay. In addition to taking town the toxic poetry industry, we also discuss whether or not David Sedaris is mother, how straight men suffer when they play gay or even bi on TV, and how weddings are the new Coachella (drug-use wise). So free yourself from form, thank ee cummings for inspiring Ariana Grande, and listen to this ep!
