Edward Hirsch recently gave a presentation at Aquinas College and went over a few of his poems and talked to the audience about himself and his poetry. Having Edward for our next new candidate would be a great twist on season 20 of The Bachelor. Although he is rather different from the usual handsome and fit guys that are typically on The Bachelor, this twist is exactly what The Bachelor needs.

It’s a funny title for his poem, but as a reader continues through it, you get a sense of what his thoughts are. He explains his feelings in such a deep emotion, connecting with the reader by expressing himself and his feelings.
