In this episode, I read "Litany in which certain things are crossed out" by Richard Siken. It's a long, long poem and one that keeps you hooked from sentence to sentence, line break to line break. It's a poem where the scenes shift and unfold almost like a play on stage. It is the litany of a lover who loves too much and believes he gets too little in return. He knows he loves too much. He knows he shouldn't. Yet he finds it hard to love any other way, even when love fails him completely, and forever. Listen in!
