The Dead Writers Club was born out of the fact that there are very few living writers out there that are worth reading. (Naturally, this is because we all yearn to live in the past)

Do you consistently feel as though you are living in the wrong time period? We do too.

This blog is a celebration of literature and the greats who wrote before us.

E.E. Cummings reads his own “Anyone Lived in a Pretty How Town”.

One of Cummings’ favorite devices is the “dying fall” - as it was called in Twelfth Night - the rhyme and meter lead you to anticipate something that doesn’t happen. Have a listen and then … give it a try.
