Chris Robbins and Lee Litif: The Fifth and Sixth Horsemen

Glad I finally got this up. This playlists collects everything I was able to capture from Lee and Chris' reading.

Lee Litif is one of the most infamous figures at Stone Soup and in the local poetry scene. For the past few years, he has been sharing his annual National Poetry Month feature with Chris Robbins. They were dubbed the Fifth and Sixth Horsemen shortly after their first pairing. This is a sampling of their most recent feature on April 20, 2009. Disclaimer: For years, Litif's feature has been the source of controversy and a cult following. His material can be scatological, nonsensical and abrasive to the new viewer . Chris Robbins, a poet who deals with social issues in his work in recent years, takes advantage of his partnership with Litif to let his poetic ID shine. This is NOT your usual poetry reading, and Stone Soup is the ONLY venue to feature it.
