About this listen

Phew! I thought this was the last judgment, but it's not. It's the one before that, or maybe none at all! We're reading Jorge Luis Borges' "Almost a Last Judgment" as translated for the 2010 volume Poems of the Night (originally published in Borges' second book of poetry, Luna de Frente, published in 1925). There's more oat-talk than you probably want, but it's still a new episode of PoeTRY!
