The Bros go modern this week when they sample Modist (not modest) Brewing and their beer "Rhinestone Eyes." Chosen by Skip, this beer doesn't disappoint, and we'll discuss its relationship to Sin City, along with Skip's habit of Gatling Gun humor. Paired with this delightful IPA is Ezra Pound and his famed poem "In a Station of the Metro." We've discussed Imagism in the past, and it's time to discuss the controversial founder of the movement that Amy Lowell took over during her poetry time. We'll highlight the talent but also the controversial elements of one of poetry's most most influential poet's (at least as far as his connections go.) So join us as we dive into the first part of Ezra Pound's life as well as proclaim a new enemy, and friend of the podcast. Enjoy!

Cheers!
