If you were at a dinner table with 3 empty seats, and you could fill them with 3 people (living or dead), for an extended conversation about life, politics, wine, wealth, women, whatever... who would you invite?
1. Billy Collins 2. Langston Hughes 3. Garrison Keillor and then I'd give up my seat for 4. W.H. Auden
If nothing else, you would definitely get a good poem out of it. And really, if I'm at a dinner table, I want to talk to people that I actually want to listen to.
I think for me it would be
ReplyDelete1. Brad Pitt
2. Karl Rove
3. Charles Darwin
Stephen Hawking, Michael Mann and Alexander the Great would be on the shortlist though.
1. Abraham Lincoln
ReplyDelete2. Joseph Smith
3. Adam Smith
I think these three men could figure out how to solve our current predicament
1. Emma Smith
ReplyDelete2. Hilary Clinton
3. Amy Goodman
1. Billy Collins
