Yeah, once again we all turned a seemingly impossible topic into a good Dancehall. And it's even better than the promo indicates: thanks to a last-minute addition by Zod, "more" now includes Shakespeare.

So I've tried to limit it to recognized published poets (Morrison, Dylan, Cohen, Scott-Heron) or songwriters using works by recognized published poets (Joni using Yeats, Annie Lennox using Marlowe, Ochs using Poe, Neil Peart using Coleridge). And I think we've got enough; we're over 90 minutes already; there's still room if anyone thinks of a gotta-have we've overlooked, but I'd say it's essentially done.

"Winter" - my topic, my first (not counting Christmas) since November. Of course you've already learned that, as a RAP reader, but I see only upsides in letting more aapc readers know as well.
