Trans Poetics: Shakespeare's Sonnets 11-15
from Dialogic Hosted by Jake J. Thomas
Was Shakespeare Gay? Who knows, but his poetry sure as heck is. It's uber gay in the best of ways. Was Shakespeare Trans? That is a bit of a reach, but the best way to describe his writing is, as the best writing always is, polyamorous. Has there ever been a more well rounded expression of all of human experience? None that I know of, which is why I chose the Bard as my model. In this podcast, I talk about why I think that Dave Chapelle and J. K. Rowling are blowing it Boomer style. It's a pendulum. Leave the trans kids alone, please. There's more there. I also talk about marketing and why it is essential. People like to think that they don't need marketing, but it is virtually impossible for a business to exist without marketing, and certainly growth is caused by marketing. It's a basic concept, but so widely misunderstood. Then, I dig into the sonnets and they are gay and great! Enjoy!
