Three Drunk Poets Find God

Recommended by

  • Paul Donnelly: Three Drunk Poets Find God

    "Read. His. Poetry." Such a simple command, but one Charlie ignores in favor of his favorite pastime, drinking, There is much humor mined from Charlie, Will, and Em's failure to channel their namesake poets and in Charlie and Will's ultimate abandonment of their literary project. This is a most amusing alcohol-fueled spoof of academic pretensions meeting youthful folly.

    I am first and foremost a poet myself, so this is RIGHT up my alley. Literary humour is my favourite kind!

    We are often told to 'get into the minds of writers' these two students take this litteraly and head for the woods armed with plenty of wine. Their acting is fun, they are enjoying the olde worlde language, that is until a certain Emily Dickinson comes along to kick in some reality!
    Research is best left to the night before the test, which is why I failed English Literature at school....
    Love it!
