Except for its deplorable misogynism and brutal, back-alley sexuality, I have for many years said that it is the genre that perhaps comes closest to embodying a poem whose first word, "menin," means "rage." The aristeia of Diomedes in Book V certainly puts me int the mood to hear some hard driving rock/heavy metal.Steve Perkinshttp://www.nclatin.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7322734145373546886.post-30759539436952167562012-02-26T06:30:22.258-08:002012-02-26T06:30:22.258-08:00You are too much!

I'll admit that I skipped class twice in the first semester: but, not once after that. Not too surprisingly, neither the book nor the instructor changed in the next four iterations.

I teach Dylan during my English class, based on the absolutely brilliant book by Christopher Ricks called Dylan's Vision of Sin and his lecture about the poetry of Bob Dylan, which I happened to order from NPR a long time ago on a casette tape.
