Teaser quote: In 1998, I bought a crappy little homemade photocopied poetry ’zine in Manhattan. I didn’t open it ’til I got it home; it was three dollars. Most of it was just what you’d expect: skateboarder poetry. But there was one poem in it that I considered such a jewel of wit that I retyped it and emailed it to sixty or seventy people; I redd it over the phone to people; I redd it to my students. For twenty years, I talked about it to poets, friends… You’ve never heard of it. It’s called “What You Can Learn from Beowulf.”
