About this listen

In this episode, we seek to learn more about two poets by having the two duel! This time, we look at two poets read in translation. Allen Ginsberg once asked in “A Supermarket in California,” “and you. Garcia Lorca, what were you doing down by the watermelons?” and this episode seeks to find out by looking at Federico García Lorca. Tomas Gösta Tranströmer’s The Blue House goes toe-to-toe with Lorca. Add in a totally unrelated chocolate tasting and you have an episode to satisfy the poetry sweet tooth!
