Paris
on the
Nature
of
Love
"
is
read
by

aloud

Most
all
of his
letters
that he
sends
are
actually
poems
.
14:07
Mayakovski
wrote
a
poem
the
last
day
of his
life
. His
suicide
note
was
flip
in
tone
.

paraphrases
a

he was
used
by
Stalin

propagate
totalitarianism

18:06
Clausen
opens
it
up
for
questions
-
Clausen
responds
that there are
Leningrad
poets
, but they
cannot
get
published
. The
only
revolutionaries
now
are the
ones
speaking
against
religion
or
talking
about
sunsets
. To be a
Christian
right
now
is
the
same
as
being
a
revolutionary
. There
is
no
religion
, there
is
communism
.

this.

war
birds
