My Poet/My Novelist -- Happy Belated Valentine's Day!

By Gordon Smith, Christine, Hurt, Vic Fleischer, Fred Tung, Lisa Fairfax, David Zaring

Yesterday, I drove three hours to Dekalb, IL and back to teach in a bar review course hsoted by Northern Illinois University.  ON the way back, I was enjoying my NPR app and was laughing out loud to this Studio 360 segment called "My Poet/My Novelist."  A real-life couple, one a novelist and the other (you guessed it) a poet, narrate their day together.  (The novelist keeps asking the poet how much she's written today, and she keeps reminding him it doesn't matter because they are all going to die.)  The Internet was cutting out between I-80 and Bloomington, so I had to look for it this morning to finish it.  I would suggest listening to it with your (dog person/cat person or chocolate person/vanilla person) significant other!
