Thanks to all who attended our most recent Spenser@Random, where we read this stanza from Book 4, Canto 8, which offers the cure for male loneliness: find a friend who looks just like you and is easily confused with you, physically and also grammatically.

Thanks to all who came to Spenser@Random yesterday, where the wheel of fortune fell on this stanza from Book 6. We had wonderful discussions about crying babies, space and time, sight and sound, epic and tragedy, and at last, at length, we realized there is always more to say about Spenser.

Thanks to all who came to Spenser@Random with @saaupdates.bsky.social to discuss our randomly selected sonnets by Spenser and Shakespeare! Shakespeare's no-nonsense family planning sonnet is especially funny next to Spenser's exaggerated Petrarchan stylings and "sudden dumps"
