The Poetry Parking Garage →
This is such a cool idea. There is a new parking garage where each floor is dedicated to a different poet…floor 7 is Langston Hughes, 9 is Robert Frost, etc. Instead of identifying the place where you parked your car with the color blue or a picture of a zebra, you think of Kay Ryan or Sandburg. Frost reads his poem over loud speakers on the floor while you walk to your car. What a great way...

This is one of the weirdest (but also coolest things). Count on the Japanese to come up with cat ears that respond to your feelings.

Live Like It's The Style
“Oh, I don’t think I would care to catch a sensible man. I shouldn’t know what to talk to him about.” - Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest, Act 2

George: You know, this used to be a helluva good country. I can’t understand what’s gone wrong with it.
Billy: Huh. Man, everybody got chicken, that’s what happened, man. Hey, we can’t even get into like, uh, second-rate hotel, I mean, a second-rate motel. You dig? They think we’re gonna cut their throat or something, man. They’re scared, man.

“Being born a woman is an awful tragedy… Yes, my consuming desire to mingle with road crews, sailors and soldiers, bar room regulars - to be a part of a scene, anonymous, listening, recording - all is spoiled by the fact that I am a girl, a female always in danger of assault and battery. My consuming interest in men and their lives is often misconstrued as a desire to seduce them, or as an...

A Poet's Advice
e. e. cummings
A poet is somebody who feels, and who expresses his feelings through words. This may sound easy. It isn’t. A lot of people think or believe or know they feel—but that’s thinking or believing or knowing; not feeling. And poetry is feeling—not knowing or believing or thinking.
