   "The Flea"

   Today, we’ll turn our attention to the English renaissance as we explore a poem by one of our all-time favorite rogues/reverends, John Donne. Since it’s more fun, we’ll focus our attention on the rogue half, as we break down Donne’s classic, lusty poetic argument, “The Flea.” It’s wild, wacky, and witty, so please, pull up a chair by the fire and let’s get started! Special thanks to Head Librarians Jeff Seplak, Jesse Cunningham, and Jake Frounfelter!!! Music Credits: Ambiment by Kevin MacLeod | https://incompetech.com/

   Hamlet, Part 6

   Today, we finish our look at Shakespeare’s Hamlet, one of, if not the, greatest plays of all time! But, does being great equal remaining relevant? Should we still read Hamlet? Well, pull up a chair by the fire and let’s talk about that. Special thanks to Head Librarians Jeff Seplak, Jesse Cunningham, and Jake Frounfelter!!!

   Hamlet, Part 5

   Today we look at Hamlet’s soliloquy “How All Occasions Do Inform Against Me.” He is finally done with all this waiting, all this inaction. He just needs one more little push. We have lots to talk about, so please, pull up a chair by the fire and let’s talk some Hamlet. Special thanks to Head Librarians Jeff Seplak, Jesse Cunningham, and Jake Frounfelter!!!
