This week, we're sharing a Patreon exclusive episode from June! With the approach of Midnights, we wanted to give Taylor Swift's poetry the recognition it deserves by revisiting poems she wrote as a child: A Monster In My Closet and Lindsey Claire, as well as the three poems she wrote during the reputation era: The Trick To Holding On, Why She Disappeared, and If You're Anything Like Me. Along with doing queer analysis of each poem, we discuss the reincarnation of Emily Dickinson through Taylor and her flower-decorated pages.
