21. Tradition (and its limits) - "We Real Cool" by Gwendolyn Brooks
Preston's Poetry Podcast11/16/24 • 25 min
In this episode, I will have the immense pleasure of introducing you to one of my all-time favorite poets, Gwendolyn Brooks. We'll be talking about "THE CANON" and how we can look to poets like Gwendolyn Brooks to know where the limits of our reverence for tradition should lie -- with a really cool, short, jazzy poem, "We Real Cool."
