Poetry: Charles Jensen Takes Over The Hollywood Fishbowl

In which Charles Jensen takes over The Fishbowl and declares that to know we exist is enough.

After all Jesse’s tough talk about the terrifically high quality of his poems in part 1, Charles steps up to the plate and hits three home runs over the course of this episode. One poem at the top, one in the middle and one at the end. He also takes over the show, acting as host, until both he and Jesse submit to the awesome power of The Fishbowl, answering question upon question, fearlessly delving into the world of randomly generated interviews!

Poetry: Charles Jensen Is The Self-Proclaimed Last Poet on The Hollywood Fishbowl

We would have loved to have had more poets on the show, but that’s all behind us now, isn’t it.

Charles Jensen is a teacher and a writer, doing the former over at UCLA Extension (https://www.uclaextension.edu/) and the latter wherever he pleases. He’s also a fan of Almodovar, which is not a bad thing to be if you’re coming on The Fishbowl. He’s also, and perhaps most importantly, the first and self-proclaimed last poet we’ll ever have on the show. If that’s the case, there’s only so much mourning we can do as Charles is a terrific guest and a terrific poet and we’d never lament going out on a high note.
