Song of myself poem5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() This happens so often with poems: It’s difficult to ignore one’s obsessions. Even a poem like “Space Junk,” which describes satellite debris drifting around in low-Earth thermosphere, has a father and his kids-he’s trying to point out various interstellar objects in the night sky through a telescope. But even when I made the conscious decision to write about a subject as far removed from it as I could manage, fatherhood kept creeping in. ![]() How is this piece representative of the treatment of the topic throughout the book?īB: I never intended for parenthood to be such a leitmotif. ![]() “Primer” is one of many poems in your new book that addresses parenting. Inevitably, too, I kept repeating that “antique” refrain, as the poem says, too soon, too soon. I remember wishing, as she zipped across the asphalt, that bike-riding took a little more time for her to learn-just so we had a project to work on together, something to fill those afternoons after she finished schoolwork. Well, I say “taught,” but really she just sort of hopped on and started pumping. During that initial lockdown period in March, when we were all stuck at home, I taught my 6-year-old daughter to ride a bike in a church parking lot down the street from our house. Brian Brodeur Talk a little bit about what kind of mood you wanted to establish in the poem “Primer.”īrian Brodeur: I must have started drafting “Primer,” like several poems in the book, amid the challenges of the first “pandemic year” in 2020. ![]()

If you’ve seen the series, all I have to say is that this is the one with the imbroglio involving the Cow Creamer. It did have a slightly different resolution than is dramatized in the series, but mostly the series follows the book closely. It perhaps helped me follow the convoluted plot all the better. The Code of the Woosters is one that was used for the marvelous BBC series Jeeves and Wooster, starring Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry, so I was very familiar with the plot – but that didn’t diminish my enjoyment in the slightest. ![]() ![]() ![]() Wodehouse Jeeves and Wooster books, since there is nothing better for putting me in a good mood while riding in the car. ![]() The Hurricane by R.J.
