Thunder Perfect Mind
Once again, in the steamheat of August: Blagg & O'Brien, two outspoken pagans perpetuating the Word on broadband. There was praise for poet Thom Gunn going out in a meth-fuelled blaze of glory holes at 74, stern words from O'Brien favorite Wyndham Lewis, fabulously modern work from 30's poet Kenneth Fearing, and a cautionary tale from R. Meltzer. Walt Whitman was invoked - he sounded good - and, to close out, our poetry-loving hosts reached even further back, to ancient Egypt, for a duet on Thunder Perfect Mind, an ancient text written by an unknown female hand.
