The List (for fans of The Absurdity of Writing Poetry)

March 25, 2010 By Matt Leave a Comment

You may remember a big list of names towards the end of The Absurdity of Writing Poetry. First of all, that list was not improvised, it is scripted (and below). Second of all, if you were to look at the script, you’d see it’s full of typos.

Well, here’s the complete list, hopefully typo-free, and with links to Wikipedia, YouTube and other sources of explanation.
