“Disquieting Bedtime Stories”

Never let it be said that GITS isn’t all about improving our cumulative cultural literacy, especially re poetry as evidenced by posts here, here, here, and here.

So I am happy to share with you something by the wonderful poet Charles Simic: “On Food and Happiness,” a prose passage from Simic’s memoir The Unemployed Fortune-Teller, as read by the wonderful actress Mary-Louise Parker, star of the hit Showtime series “Weeds”.

BTW, Simic was named the 2007 U.S. Poet Laureate.

A poetic HT to my good friend Kurt Brown for forwarding me the link.
