MEEST RECENTE AFLEVERING 🔗

THE INSECT GOD

--FIRST OF OUR TWO Hallowe'en shows. That festive event is more than a single calendar day in this Year of Grace; it is a season. Our next show will be on the very eve of the 31st. Edward Gorey's poem is an offering to the true spirit of the seasonal Gestalt. The work seems almost to gloat, in a wa…

VORIGE AFLEVERINGEN

PREDATED CHARISMATIC SAURIANS BETTER KNOWN. So we talk about them a bit. Erythrosuchus was the largest predator of its time, at more than 13.1 feet (4 m4ters) in length, with a singular neural arch suggesting possible lengths of 4.755 meters (15.616.4 feet). It walked on all fours and had limbs pos…
[WITH TRANSREAL BEASTS] A historically modern poet, still Dylan Thomas can be seen as one who extended into the 20th century the general movement called Romanticism, particularly in its emphasis on imagination, emotion, intuition, spontaneity, and organic form. He was obsessed with words- with thei…
CASEY JONES was that Rounder's name-- on a big eight-wheeler he won his fame. Mr. Jones is best known for his courage, sacrificing his life by keeping one hand on the brake to slow the train and one hand on the whistle to warn others who might be nearby the hurtling locomotive, as well as for his t…
OR, UNDER THE VULTURE TREE. We know poems about animals, sea monsters, flying creatures... The latter category includes bats, nightingales, skylarks-- and vultures. Three poems about those birds (pro-Vulture), of which we begin with "Under the Vulture Tree" by David Bottoms. Follows a Mission State…
WHO HEADS THE CAT-WORSHIPING CULT of Holofelinity. We discuss multifold topics. The recent celebration of this Cult was abruptly cancelled, but another is sure to take place in the fullness of Time. In ancient Egypt, cats were represented in social and religious scenes dating as early as 1980 BC. S…
A PROMETHEAN CONQUEROR, as supposed by transcendent mythopoetic theoreticians, concerns our epigraph. Perhaps its divinity is inherent in, let us say, an ancient Mayan idol a deity of death found in Mexico. Or alternatively, a particular Mesoamerican imago of numinous power, once adored and vener…

Per Gradus ad Ima

QUOD FRACTUM ERAT, a viro sapiente refectum est. New computer protocols kept us from posting our shows. Most fortunately, a viro sapiente, RV\'s Mauro, gave us needed guidance and now, at least for the time being, what was fractum has now been repaired, as this note indicates. We also had trouble, …
AND THEIR RELATIVES-- A MUSING on Evolution's radiate path, starting with Teleoceras and dwelling on the giant Paraceratherium. The wonders of the planet's bio-history will never let the investigator down, or cease to inspire the student of Earth's outbranching, evolutionary methodology. It is shoc…
WITH SPECIAL GUEST DAVID NORMAL includes a surprise visit from RV's own John Hell, delivering the new Radio Valencia T-shirt in the proper size (it fits perfectly). We welcome poet and fine artist Mr. Normal once again and exchange poetic compositions. Dylan Thomas provides additional verses. Those…
