The New Testament by Jericho Brown
4.0
Another one read thanks to the poetry class I'm taking. The New Testament is going to fester; I can already tell. I didn't go on the underlining spree I usually do, choosing instead to circle entire poems, or draw stars on top of pages to come back to. I'm definitely looking forward to discussing this one in class.
Oh, and you're welcome:
"One of the seventeen times the Supremes appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show, they sang 'You Can't Hurry Love' wearing earrings that weighed close to what Diana Ross weighed at the time. At some point in the song, one of Ross's earrings dangles and falls. What does she do? She keeps singing lead, and includes in the choreography a catch you have to watch the footage several times to see. Suddenly, Diana Ross has one earring on and one in her hand. Poetry is performance. I recommend watching this to learn writing with focus...and grace."
