RUSSELL EDSON AND DANIEL NESTER

     
 


Daniel Nester gave us all
a taste of God Save My Queen II.


The unarguable Master of the American prose poem, Russell Edson

 
 


Mr. Edson enjoying a refreshment.


Mr. Edson reading under his
enormous gold levitating hat.

 
 


Daniel Nester salutes us with chin up
and shoulder grabbed firmly.


Host Ada Limón sings "I Want to Marry a Lighthouse Keeper" while Susan Brennan gets it all down on tape for Brooklyn Heights Radio.

THANKS A LOT RUSSELL EDSON

I'm thinking about eating chimpanzee.

Not "thinking about" like
"maybe I'll do it tonight
and maybe I won't," but

"thinking about" like
"exactly how close to cannibalism would it be
if one were to eat a chimpanzee?"
