On the 1/10/24 edition of Dr. Andy’s Poetry and Technology Hour:
Dr. Andy begins the episode with the poem “Elegy” by Aracelis Girmay in remembrance of Natalie Corona, the late Davis police officer who died five years ago in the line of duty. Leonard Cohen’s song “Democracy,” which doubles as spoken word, follows Corona’s memorial, as well as a recorded reading by Robert Creeley of his poem, “The Long Road.” A reading of “Tours” by C.D Wright and “Gift” by Czesław Miłosz is also shared. “Romeo had Juliette” by Lou Reed plays prior to Joe Wenderoth’s appearance on the podcast. Wenderoth divulges his potential relocation to Texas after retirement and his affinity for waterfront properties. Alongside the relocation, he plans to complete his book in the works titled Agony and to use Andy Griffith show episodes to craft generative poetry. He then reads a poem called “Light the Arrows.” Karen Holmberg is the next guest, and she discusses the origins of her poem “At the Preserve.” She then reads the poem, which is about a moment shared with her mother and the elusiveness of perfection. Holmberg closes out the episode by reading a poem about her daughter Lilly.
Joe Wenderoth is a writer, performer, musician, professor, and film-maker. He has published six books: four books of poetry, an epistolary novel, and a book of essays.. Joe Wenderoth has been teaching for the Department of English at UC Davis since 2003. This will be his last reading in Davis.
