In this segment of Patrick and Pop Music, Patrick breaks down the catchy perfection of Robyn’s latest viral single, “Missing U.” Patrick takes us along on his music and lyrics analysis journey, starting with who Robyn and you might be missing through Anne Carson, Marcel Duchamp, Cole Swensen, Pierre Bonnard, and more. Basically: heartbreak, glass metaphors, dancing beats, and where pop culture and poetry intersect. More on Patrick -- Patrick Milian is a David A. Robertson Fellow, doctoral candidate, and teacher at the University of Washington where he also received his MFA.
