"K. Silem Mohammad floats like a Butterball and sings like a bee."

He said it, I didn't--though I wish I had!

Also love his reading of a Milton sonnet on the site--you know, it would be cool to see other bloggers taking on some poems that aren't contemporary like that. Seeing Milton in this context really made me aware of how complex and worked Milton's syntax is, in a way that shouldn't be too unfamiliar to the contemporary reader...Hey Kasey, can I steal that when I have to teach Intro to English Lit?
