Poetic-Verses from ATHANASE
Radio France Culture (English)
Radio France Culture
Poet! Were you hoping France Culture would ask you to read your work on air?
Even if you were Pindar, you'd have to ditch that dusty dream,
for Weinstein and Velter, two gloomy Bacchylides
rule the waves and the ears of that herd of sheep: the French listening population.
While they're on this earth they may lay down the law, but once they're dead,
their bloodless names will be forgotten, not to mention their stupid boring verse!
Weinstein and Velter are two poets who reign supreme on Radio France Culture. They're everywhere, just like a rash!
