Episode 84: Hot Pants & Sneeze Ghosts

August 4, 2020 by PBQ Leave a Comment

It’s a rainy day in Philly, even rainier in NYC, and curiously blue in Abu Dhabi. We’re wondering whether you can OD on zinc, what’s happening on planet Saadiyat, and whether ghosts are real.  These poems are full of curious imagery, versatile movements and occasional hot-pants and sneeze-ghosts. We loved journeying through each one, which […]

Episode 82: “1-4-3”

May 12, 2020 by PBQ Leave a Comment

Be warned. We love the writers who submit to PBQ, slushies. We love doing this podcast. And we love you; we love that you listen to us discuss and deliberate. In short, slushies, as Mister Rogers would say: “1-4-3.”  One. Four. Three. (I. L-o-v-e. Y-o-u). (Get it?!). We do. It’s hopeless. We’re hooked.  We discuss […]

Episode 77: Belly-up!

November 16, 2019 by PBQ 1 Comment

If you are like us, Slushies, then you love a good duality.  We’re hooked on the way “belly-up” can mean to be a flop and to roll in closer. So, belly-up to this episode where we discuss two poems by Judith Roney– “Belly-up” and “Relictual Taxon.” After some laughs about how it’s easy to mistake […]

Marion Wrenn: Introductions, a series

October 16, 2012 by PBQ

“Letter to Brooks,” Major Jackson’s tour de force poem in Hoops (2006), is a daring act of publicly intellectual intimacy. An “epistolary chat,” the poem is an unfurling act of gratitude. We witness Jackson bearing witness to luck and legacy, to the happy accident of knowing your idols—and the ripple effect of shepherding those generous […]

Marion Wrenn: Editor’s Introduction

May 16, 2011 by PBQ

I. In the days after the tragedies of 9/11, some of us sought refuge in movie theaters. In fact, one theater in the frozen section of lower Manhattan opened its doors to shell-shocked patrons and offered free soda and popcorn and movies. God bless a film like Rat Race in days like these. But as […]
