(Not an) Exam Special - "The Waste Land" by TS Eliot ft. Arjan Hut
It's a big special episode! Poet Arjan Hut and I sit down in front of a tin can to talk TS Eltiot's the Waste Land (https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/47311/the-waste-land). It's a mixed language interview, and I'm leaving it that way because The Waste Land is too! If you listen on Apple Podcasts, you can get an automated translated transcript in the app.
We talk collage form, the world in shambles, mixed language poetry, and what we like about this deck-o-tarot-cards poem written in 1922. Enjoy!
Featuring Arjan Hut from Garbielle en Arjan bedoele it net ferkeard (https://www.netferkeard.frl/)

26. Villlanelles pt 2. - Michael Luis Medrano "Villanelle"
25. Villanelles pt 1 - Dylan Thomas "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night"
In this episode, I'll be talking about how we can look at poetic forms and discover their internal benefits -- through a difficult form to write called a Villanelle. I'll discuss harnessing the power of repetition with Dylan Thomas' Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night. (https://poets.org/poem/do-not-go-gentle-good-night)
