Description
Eric and Wendy are joined by Michelle Martinez, Wendy’s grad school classmate and BFF, to discuss her favorite parts of “Nestor.”
Michelle is a current poetry indexer and permissions coordinator for a large poetry organization, recovering academic, and chicana feminist crockpot fiend with a Ph.D. in English lit. A guest was necessary, since, until the recording, Eric and Wendy thought “Nestor” was … fine, but maybe feel differently by the end?
Highlights of the conversation include Michelle’s four-month-old’s timely appearance as we discuss “amor matris,” discussion of Deasy’s QAnon resonance, debate over what it means that God is a shout in the street, and, finally, the pod’s casting of the perfect Ulysses movie Deasy.
Recommended Resources:
Frank Budgen, James Joyce and the Making of Ulysses (Even if everyone makes fun of his reading of Deasy.)
Technically Pop, Eric’s other pop culture discussion podcast with Georgia Tech colleagues
