Wallace Stevens and beer

Do you have a six-pack of Lagunitas CitruSinensis Pale Ale around the house? Look at the bottom of the carton: the Wallace Stevens poem “The Man with the Blue Guitar” makes an appearance there. Best to remove the bottles before turning the carton over. Or look at this page from the company website.

[CitruSinensis, made with blood-orange juice, tastes mighty good. But a little thin. Not as good as Lagunitas IPA or “The Man with the Blue Guitar.”]

Ah, now I finally get the reference that Peter Case made when he called his second solo album “The Man With the Blue Post-Modern Fragmented Neo-Traditionalist Guitar.” Only took me thirty years!

Good album too, especially “Entella Hotel” and “Poor Old Tom.”
