In honor of the release of "The Carol Burnett Show: The Lost Episodes," Kevin Spacey wrote his idol Carol Burnett a very special poem.
In this edition of HoCoPoLitSo's The Writing life, revered American poet Gwendolyn Brooks sat down in 1986 to talk with Alan Jabbour, director of the Library of Congress' American Folklore division, and E. Ethelbert Miller, poet and director of the African American Resource Center at Howard University. Brooks was the Library of Congress' 29th consultant in poetry, and tells the story in this program of winning the Pulitzer at age 32, and getting the phone call in the dark because the electric company had cut off their power because they couldn't afford to pay the bill. She recites "We Real Cool," a poem she says has lasted because of its "insouciance and staccato effect." She talks about her introduction to black nationalism, feminism and James Baldwin. Brooks says, "I like for blacks to...
James G. Bennett, urban transportation planning manager for the Florida Department of Transportation, plans to leave the post to run for the District 4 seat on the Baker County Commission and explains why in this video.
In March 1981 Melvyn Bragg travelled to Hull to interview the poet, librarian and jazz critic Philip Larkin for a production of the South Bank Show. The programme was broadcast 30th May 1982. Larkin declined to appear on camera, a decision which Bragg later referred to as "a bit mean of him." The programme was the cause of much anguish for the notoriously mopish and reclusive Larkin. In August of that year he wrote to his bibliographer B.C. Bloomfield to say that he had recorded a number of poems for the programme, before concluding "God help me." Larkin's colleague James Booth observed that the poet found the experience "difficult and intrusive."
