Seeing (finally) the Commonality Between...(w Sandra Marchetti)
<p>Ever wonder what the Chinese Cultural Revolution, a menstrual period, and a raspberry pie have in common... you probably didn't... and this episode probably won't give you a satisfying answer. But Sandra Marchetti tried to tackle that very topic with her first published poem Seeing (finally) the Commonality Between the Chinese Cultural Revolution and My Period, Or Pie. A title so long My Bad Poetry couldn't even use it all for the show's title- and normally the show is named for multiple poems a guest brings. All this to say Sandra brought a great one for the show!</p><p>My Bad Poetry Episode 8.20: "Seeing (finally) the Commonality Between...(w Sandra Marchetti)"</p><p>End Poem from a Real Poet: "Crotch" by Sandra Marchetti</p><p>Sandra Marchetti is the author of DIORAMA (Stephen F.

No Regrets
<p>The only regret Aaron may have is not checking his microphone before recording. He sounds like he's in a tin can! This episode includes an abandoned poem found on a loose leaf of college lined paper in Aaron's old stuff. It's about love lost or never pursued...for good reason? Or maybe it was left unfinished for a better reason. Dave plays with homophones in his hastily written poem of the week. </p><p>My Bad Poetry Episode 8.19: "No Regrets"</p><p>End Poem from a Real Poet: "The Riddle of Strider" by Bilbo Baggins (translated by J.
