Parlem amb Maria Call

Piše Muanis Sinanović, bere Aleksander Golja. Kratkoprozni prvenec Lene Kregelj Zato sem torej prišla je osvežujoče nepretenciozna knjiga. Zgodbe so trdno zasidrane v vsakdan običajnih Slovencev in niso obremenjene z modnimi temami in dihotomijami, zato lažje posegajo po celovitosti človeške izkušnje v danem prostoru in času. Kljub psihološki lucidnosti in čustvenem naboju ter z občutkom za podrobnosti so pisane v dostopnem slogu. Dogajalni prostor zgodb je prepričljivo razpet med uradniška in poslovna mestna okolja ter hribe in gozdove, med obema pa bi bilo nesmiselno delati razlike, saj se v izkušnji bivanja v Sloveniji ta prelivajo in tvorijo organsko celoto. Pisanje zaznamuje avtentičen lirski občutek za skrivnostno in mogočno v naravnih okoljih. Številne zgodbe se ukvarjajo z zapletenimi sodobnimi odnosi med moškimi in ženskami. Pisane so iz izrazito ženske perspektive, ki je do moških pogosto ironična, vendar pa ne zajedljiva in skuša razumeti tudi moško krhkost. V njih ni ne enostavne dihotomije med spoloma ne enostavnega preseganja domnevnih spolnih vlog. Napetost med moškimi in ženskami sproža stalno preizkušanje meja med enimi in drugimi ter v vsej svoji dvoumnosti sproža široko paleto čustev od tesnobe do ganjenosti. V tej napetosti je tudi erotičnost, kakor jo v svojem delu Grenko-sladki eros opisuje Anne Carson. Ta erotičnost je najbolj neposredno izražena v uvodni, naslovni zgodbi, nikoli pa ni vulgarna. Pri tem je zanimivo, da so moški v zgodbah, kjer nastopajo kot glavni liki, večinoma v izgubljenem, podrejenem položaju. Ne z namenom nekakšnega posiljenega, subverzivnega obračanja vlog, gre namreč za senzibilno obravnavo osamljenosti in krhkosti sodobnega človeka, ki je lahko tudi moškega spola. Pogosta tema so učinki neoliberalizacije gospodarstva na posameznike. Mladi so vpeti med nemogoče zahteve trga, visoke najemnine, študijske zahteve in vsiljeno ambicioznost. Vse to so sicer pogoste teme v javni razpravi in tudi književnosti zadnjega obdobja, vendar jim zgodbe Lene Kregelj dodajajo eksistencialno dimenzijo, ki presega aktivistične dimenzije in se subtilno potaplja v dejanska stanja atomiziranosti. Ta zajemajo razne duševne stiske in motnje, celo samomorilnost. Posamezniki so stisnjeni v majhna stanovanja in izolirani od preostanka sveta. Potisnjeni so v svoje notranje svetove in hrepenijo po povezovanju. Partnerski odnosi med moškimi in ženskami v tem oziru ne delujejo kot področja tekmovalnosti, temveč kot zavetja pred osamljenostjo. S tem nam razkrivajo zanimivo sociološko perspektivo. Osamljenost v sodobni družbi je lahko večja pri posameznikih iz heteroseksualne populacije, ki ne pripadajo etničnim ali drugim manjšinam in ne sledijo tako imenovanemu girlboss feminizmu. Neoliberalna družbena ureditev namreč ustvarja velike pripovedi o boju manjšin in navidezne manjšinske in feministične skupnosti, ki preusmerjajo pozornost od dejanskih razmerij moči. Iz teh pripovedi pa so izpuščeni povsem običajni ljudje, o katerih piše Lena Kregelj. Na drugi strani neoliberalnega trga dela se nahajajo tako imenovani bulšihti v javnem sektorju, ki so v času popolne zbirokratiziranosti na lokalni in mednarodni ravni bolj ali manj sami sebi namen. Antropolog David Graeber v delu Bulšihti obravnava občutke, ki jih povzroča ujetost v take službe, Lena Kregelj pa to ujetost prikazuje skozi literarno prizmo. Tudi družinski odnosi niso obravnavani enostransko, temveč v vsej svoji ambivalentnosti, ki zaznamuje tudi partnerske odnose. Ena od zgodb se dogaja na praznični družinski večerji in vključuje široko in raznovrstno paleto občutkov o sorodnikih, ki jih lahko posameznica goji na ozadju ljubeče povezanosti. Kljub težkim temam pa je pripovedovalski pristop mehak, tudi krhko odprt, čeprav je obenem suveren in pogumen. Prav zaradi teh odprtih protislovij je branje zgodb Lene Kregelj v knjigi Zato sem torej prišla zanimivo, saj srkajo najrazličnejše odtenke in čustva ter omogočajo različne uvide.

Essa editora com livros tão sedutores, tanto pelos títulos, quanto pelos autores, quanto pelas capas, quanto pelo próprio nome, de som e acentos tão curiosos, também tem uma news (sim, amo news) gratuita e ótima!Na edição de 14/março/2025, veio o título: “Atenção ao homem cuja caligrafia balança como um junco ao vento, por Anne Carson“, cuja leitura compartilho neste episódio.Pelo que pesquisei ligeiro: a palavra Âyiné tem origem persa e significa “espelho”; a editora surgiu de um projeto de uma revista de estudos islâmicos, entre BH e Veneza, e outras curiosidades que ficam para um outro momento.Link para o site onde pode conferir o catálogo e assinar a news:https://ayine.com.brEu sou Helena Salgado e vc pode acompanhar o TáTó no Instagram @tatopodcast. Lá encontra, na bio, os links para todos os episódios e o contato, caso queira mandar alguma mensagem.O episódio foi gravado em São Paulo em março de 2025. A vinheta de início é uma interpretação minha pra música “Antônia” (Fabio Torres) e a imagem de capa é uma foto do manuscrito de Kafka, da obra inacabada [a construção], publicada pela editora Ubu. O projeto gráfico é uma coisa a parte, com elementos que forçam a interação do leitor para conseguir ler cada página, coisas desse outra editora também maravilhosa; prefácio do Dunker e uma nota da tradutora Sofia Mariutti que é a cereja do bolo e faz a obra ficar ainda mais sensacional. Na hora me veio a conexão com a caligrafia da Carson. Espero que goste.Boa escuta! E seguimos protestando pelo fim da ocupação ilegal, do racismo, do colonialismo. Palestina livre

The Spark is hosting its annual book-as-gifts- guide. We spoke with Catherine Lawrence, co-owner of the Midtown Scholar Bookstore in Harrisburg, Travis Kurowski, (Ph.D) an assistance professor of creative writing at York College of Pennsylvania, and Carolyn Blatchley MLIS, Executive Director of Cumberland County Library System. The Midtown Schloar Bookstore recommendation can be found here. The Cumberland County Library Systems recommendations can be found here. Travis Kurowski Recommendations list below: NONFICTION Heartbreak Is the National Anthem: How Taylor Swift Reinvented Pop Music By Rob Sheffield I just ordered this book because I am in love with a woman who is the biggest Taylor Swift fan I have ever met. As it happens, I have only recently realized the most obvious thing about Swift's music: It's mostly about heartbreak. Our American Shakespeare of longing and distance, of regret and revenge, Swift's oeuvre is analyzed from first album to last by best-selling Rolling Stone journalist Rob Sheffield in this new book. From the publisher: “Heartbreak Is the National Anthem: How Taylor Swift Reinvented Pop Music is the first book that goes deep on the musical and cultural impact of Taylor Swift. Nobody can tell the story like Rob Sheffield, the bestselling and award-winning author of Dreaming the Beatles, On Bowie, and Love Is a Mix Tape. The legendary Rolling Stone journalist is the writer who has chronicled Taylor for every step of her long career, from her early days to the Eras Tour. Sheffield gets right to the heart of Swift and her music, her lyrics, her fan connection, her raw power.” The Message By Ta-Nehisi Coates Baltimore native Ta-Nehisi Coates's new book of nonfiction takes a risk in being human. I've been following Coates since his days reporting for The Atlantic where he made national attention making a persuasive case for reparation. Since then, he's published a best-selling works of fiction and nonfiction, even written for Marvel Comics. This latest book from Coates is an analysis of how myths and stories shape cultures and nations, from Senegal to the ongoing war on Gaza. From the publisher: “In the first of the book's three intertwining essays, Coates, on his first trip to Africa, finds himself in two places at once: in Dakar, a modern city in Senegal, and in a mythic kingdom in his mind. Then he takes readers along with him to Columbia, South Carolina, where he reports on his own book's banning, but also explores the larger backlash to the nation's recent reckoning with history and the deeply rooted American mythology so visible in that city—a capital of the Confederacy with statues of segregationists looming over its public squares. Finally, in the book's longest section, Coates travels to Palestine, where he sees with devastating clarity how easily we are misled by nationalist narratives, and the tragedy that lies in the clash between the stories we tell and the reality of life on the ground.” Lovely One: A Memoir By Ketanji Brown Jackson The election was hard for everyone—every national election has been in recent memory. Memoirs from people behind the scenes in spaces shaped by such elections have always been popular, more recently they seem to be a source of sustenance. I cannot see the new memoir by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson—the first black woman and first public defender to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court—as anything else. From the publisher: “With this unflinching account, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson invites readers into her life and world, tracing her family's ascent from segregation to her confirmation on America's highest court within the span of one generation.” FICTION The Vegetarian By Han Kang 2024 Nobel winner for Literature, Han Kang also won the 2016 Booker Prize for her most widely read novel, The Vegetarian, a short novel I read in a gulp years ago when it was first translated from the Korean into English by Deborah Smith. The power of The Vegetarian is ineffable, which is an odd thing to say for a book—that it is beyond words—but that is the power and experience of great art.     A perfect introduction to Kang's work. From the publisher: “Before the nightmares began, Yeong-hye and her husband lived an ordinary, controlled life. But the dreams—invasive images of blood and brutality—torture her, driving Yeong-hye to purge her mind and renounce eating meat altogether. It's a small act of independence, but it interrupts her marriage and sets into motion an increasingly grotesque chain of events at home. As her husband, her brother-in-law and sister each fight to reassert their control, Yeong-hye obsessively defends the choice that's become sacred to her. Soon their attempts turn desperate, subjecting first her mind, and then her body, to ever more intrusive and perverse violations, sending Yeong-hye spiraling into a dangerous, bizarre estrangement, not only from those closest to her, but also from herself. Celebrated by critics around the world, The Vegetarian is a darkly allegorical, Kafka-esque tale of power, obsession, and one woman's struggle to break free from the violence both without and within her.” All Fours By Miranda July There has been no other book I've heard about as much this year as filmmaker and fiction writer Miranda July's latest novel All Fours, about what happens when we ignore our desires—by which I mean, ignore our very selves—and the confusing struggle it might be to ever find ourselves again. The conversations I've had about this book have been as rich and meaningful as the book itself, conversations I hold dear and have changed me forever. From the publisher: “A semi-famous artist announces her plan to drive cross-country, from LA to NY. Thirty minutes after leaving her husband and child at home, she spontaneously exits the freeway, checks into a nondescript motel, and immerses herself in an entirely different journey. Miranda July's second novel confirms the brilliance of her unique approach to fiction. With July's wry voice, perfect comic timing, unabashed curiosity about human intimacy, and palpable delight in pushing boundaries, All Fours tells the story of one woman's quest for a new kind of freedom. Part absurd entertainment, part tender reinvention of the sexual, romantic, and domestic life of a forty-five-year-old female artist, All Fours transcends expectation while excavating our beliefs about life lived as a woman. Once again, July hijacks the familiar and turns it into something new and thrillingly, profoundly alive.” Playground By Richard Powers Richard Powers won the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for fiction for his previous novel The Overstory, arguably the single most important American novel ever published about our relationship to the environment, all told through the lens of our human relationship to trees. Powers's latest novel, Playground, is about artificial intelligence and the ocean. And I expect nothing less. From the publisher: “Four lives are drawn together in a sweeping, panoramic new novel from Richard Powers, showcasing the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Overstory at the height of his skills. Twelve-year-old Evie Beaulieu sinks to the bottom of a swimming pool in Montreal strapped to one of the world's first aqualungs. Ina Aroita grows up on naval bases across the Pacific with art as her only home. Two polar opposites at an elite Chicago high school bond over a three-thousand-year-old board game; Rafi Young will get lost in literature, while Todd Keane's work will lead to a startling AI breakthrough. They meet on the history-scarred island of Makatea in French Polynesia, whose deposits of phosphorus once helped to feed the world. Now the tiny atoll has been chosen for humanity's next adventure: a plan to send floating, autonomous cities out onto the open sea. But first, the island's residents must vote to greenlight the project or turn the seasteaders away. Set in the world's largest ocean, this awe-filled book explores that last wild place we have yet to colonize in a still-unfolding oceanic game, and interweaves beautiful writing, rich characterization, profound themes of technology and the environment, and a deep exploration of our shared humanity in a way only Richard Powers can. COMICS Future By Tommi Musturi I saw this book while browsing with my daughters and close friends at Lost City Books in Washington, DC—a bookstore I cannot recommend enough for its curation, display, and overall artistry in the selling of books—and it actually took my breath away. I saw it from across the room, huge and bold in color and design. Almost the shape and size of a small board game, this absolutely thrilling collection of Mutsuri's is so stunning it feels unbelievable it exists and, more than that, was somehow published. It's an atomic explosion of creativity fracturing the very medium of comics. Few art experiences in the world give such a rush. From the publisher: “A graphic, genre-mashing magnum opus from one of the most restlessly creative voices in comics. Tommi Musturi's Future traps the reader into a web of stories happening in different timespaces, providing perspectives on the possible futures of mankind through imaginary future worlds, current events, historical references, utopias, and ideals. Future is a mash-up of the familiar and the terribly alien: quotidian existence, sci-fi spectacle, utopian fantasy, AI dystopia, and other worst-case scenarios. Richly philosophical and allegorical, Musturi gives us alcoholic magicians, guerrilla art squads, mutant reality television hosts, and incel archaeologist-astronauts, among many others. Weaving between a variety of styles in illustration and narration that transform and reflect our constantly changing reality, Future is an impassioned graphic novel for our times that renews the medium of comics—a vital and multifaceted work of art.” Here By Richard McGuire Now a major motion picture starring Tom Hanks and Robin Writing, Richard McGuire's 2014 graphic novel Here is almost made small by calling it a graphic novel. It is, certainly, a work of fiction, and so technically then a graphic (comic) novel (fiction), but it's also one of the strangest and most beautiful works in the comics medium ever made. Every page of the book is a drawing of the same corner of the same room across 300 million years of history. Yes, the same space, variously drawn, across 300 million years. And seeing that space across time, stories do emerge, but only in the same way they do in the reality within which we all exist—because we construct them. Since the first pages of the book concept were published in 1989, its impact has rippled throughout the comics world, and continues to. From the publisher: “From one of the great comic innovators, the long-awaited fulfillment of a pioneering comic vision: the story of a corner of a room and of the events that have occurred in that space over the course of hundreds of thousands of years.” POETRY By Fady Joudah There are few contemporary issues as important as the well-being and fate of the Palestinian people, and few voices in American literature as important and prominent in this area as Palestinian American poet and physician Fady Joudah. The book's strange title, […], is a pictogram, a symbol evoking meaning: silence, perhaps, or erasure. The brackets for what has been omitted, the internal ellipsis for all that remains unsaid. Joudah wrote the poems in […] between October and December 2023, a time of much suffering, ceaseless since. From the publisher: “Fady Joudah's powerful sixth collection of poems opens with, ‘I am unfinished business,' articulating the ongoing pathos of the Palestinian people. A rendering of Joudah's survivance, […] speaks to Palestine's daily and historic erasure and insists on presence inside and outside the ancestral land. Responding to the unspeakable in real time, Joudah offers multiple ways of seeing the world through a Palestinian lens—a world filled with ordinary desires, no matter how grand or tragic the details may be—and asks their reader to be changed by them. The sequences are meditations on a carousel: the past returns as the future is foretold. But ‘Repetition won't guarantee wisdom,' Joudah writes, demanding that we resuscitate language ‘before [our] wisdom is an echo.' These poems of urgency and care sing powerfully through a combination of intimate clarity and great dilations of scale, sending the reader on heartrending spins through echelons of time. […] is a wonder. Joudah reminds us ‘Wonder belongs to all.'” Wrong Norma By Anne Carson I've been following Canadian poet Anne Carson's career since I picked up a copy of her wildly experimental and stunning 1998 book, Autobiography of Red—" richly layered and deceptively simple, Autobiography of Red is a profoundly moving portrait of an artist coming to terms with the fantastic accident of who he is”—while living for a summer at the home of potter Jim Romberg in southern Oregon, details that may seem insignificant, but that's not how art works on us. Carson is one of the world's—the world's—most experimentally stunning poets who somehow still reaches the depth of human emotion. A classicist who has translated the Greek Tragedies for the stage, along with the most stunning book of Sappho's poetry I've ever read, Wrong Norma is a sampling of the same erudition and emotion we have for decades expected from the poet. Oh, and she's incredibly funny. I haven't read this book yet, but I will, because I agree wholeheartedly with the late Susan Sontag about Carson: “She is one of the few writers writing in English that I would read anything she wrote.” From the publisher: “Published here in a stunning edition with images created by Carson, several of the twenty-five startling poetic prose pieces have appeared in magazines and journals like The New Yorker and The Paris Review. As Carson writes: ‘Wrong Norma is a collection of writings about different things, like Joseph Conrad, Guantánamo, Flaubert, snow, poverty, Roget's Thesaurus, my Dad, Saturday night. The pieces are not linked. That's why I've called them ‘wrong.'”Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Una de las más celebradas escritoras canadienses nos regala esta prosa poética en la que cuenta, a partir de versos libres, de una narración lírica, de una expresión de escritura novedosa y profunda la relación de una mujer con su marido en el proceso de divorcio. Anne Carson es definitivamente una de esas plumas que sorprende por lo efectivo del trazo y al mismo tiempo por la capacidad de usar el lenguaje a su antojo, llevando al límite la capacidad narrativa. Nos acompaña como invitado especial Danny Cano.

Kate Wolf and Medaya Ocher speak with writer and scholar Simon Critchley about his new book, Mysticism. Defining mysticism not as a religion but as a “tendency, a distillation of existing devotional practice,” the book begins by considering some of the great mystics of the Christian tradition. These include Critchley's favorite mystic, Julian of Norwich, known as the first woman to ever write a book in English, Margery Kempe, Christina the Astonishing, and Meister Echkhart, a German theologian who influenced philosophers like Hegel and Heidegger and was tried as a heretic shortly after his death by Pope John in 1329. But more than a history or survey of mysticism, Critchley's book is invested in isolating the loss of self and experience of ecstasy its practitioners describe, and looking for resonance within contemporary culture. He examines the work of writers such as Anne Carson and Annie Dillard, and the musician Nick Cave, suggesting that mysticism lives on as a secular aesthetic experience in the “world of enchantment opened in art, poetry and—especially—music.” Also, Deborah Levy, the author of The Position of Spoons: And Other Intimacies, returns to recommend two books scheduled to be published next year, On Breathing: Care in a Time of Carastrophe by Jamieson Webster, and Baldwin: A Love Story by Nicholas Boggs.

Det er tilstanden hos fortælleren i dagens hovedtekst. 'Glasessayet' er skrevet af den canadiske verdensstjerne, Anne Carson (f. 1950), og hende kan du høre et eksklusivt interview med i dagens program. Vært, Nanna Mogensen mødte digteren denne sommer, og i studiet har hun besøg af forfatter, Mathilde Moestrup, der er kender af Anne Carsons forfatterskab. Desuden har Moestrup oversat netop 'Glasessayet', der handler om ulykkelig kærlighed, håbløs sex, Emily Brontë og hedelandskabet i det nordlige Canada.

“Se toparmos um leve exagero e aceitarmos que a leitura é uma experiência suavíssima de alucinação, nos perguntamos: quantas vezes nós, mulheres, alucinamos ser homens? E que espécies de aventura – muitas delas interditas a nós na vida real – vivenciamos na pele virtual deles? Por meio da nossa imaginação, homens ficcionais existem, e carregam efeitos dessa existência para nossas vidas concretas”. Retiro o trecho da apresentação de “O Homem Não Existe”, livro que a pesquisadora, doutora em literatura, professora e crítica literária Ligia Gonçalves Diniz acaba de publicar pela Zahar. O livro é um longo ensaio no qual Ligia mostra ao leitor como busca compreender e, de alguma maneira, vivenciar a masculinidade por meio da ficção. Sexualidade, raiva e beleza (ou feiura) são alguns dos assuntos pelos quais a autora passa enquanto se debruça sobre obras de autores como Albert Camus, Philip Roth, Roberto Bolaño, Herman Melville, Dante, Graciliano Ramos e Homero. Mas nem só de homens se faz a bibliografia de Ligia. Estão por lá autoras como Susan Sontag, Anne Carson e Audre Lorde. Indo além das letras, há acenos improváveis a músicas de grupos como Art Popular e Engenheiros do Hawaii ou a filmes como “Crepúsculo”. “O Homem Não Existe” também é uma argumentação sobre viver outras experiências por meio da arte. Conversei com Ligia a respeito desse deslocamento numa época em que tantos buscam por espelhos no papo que vocês ouvirão a seguir. Os amores proibidos, as paixões assumidas e a relação entre obra, autores e leitores também foram assuntos da nossa conversa. * Aqui o caminho para a newsletter da Página Cinco: https://paginacinco.substack.com/

SobreTodo começo é uma promessa, ninguém sabe exatamente onde vai dar. Mas mal começa e parece que o final já se anuncia. Ninguém lida bem com a dolorosa certeza do fim, por isso os desvios, os dribles, os floreios. As palavras são uma maneira de dar sentido para o que acontece no meio do caminho e, por isso, são eróticas. Escrever bem é encontrar maneiras de alongar a distância entre o começo e o fim. Assim, a escrita bem feita é uma forma de erotismo que serve às coisas que não querem terminar. No podcast desta sexta, nos inspiramos em Anne Carson e conversamos sobre “fazer amor com a palavra”.ParticipantesRafael LauroRafael TrindadeLinksTexto lidoLive no YouTubeOutros LinksFicha TécnicaCapa: Felipe FrancoEdição: Pedro JanczurMailing: Adriana VasconcellosAss.

Stella Chrysostomou of Volume Books reviews Wrong Norma by Anne Carson published by Jonathan Cape

Um monstro alado vermelho salta para o século XX. Em Autobiografia do Vermelho, Anne Carson revisita o mito clássico e atualiza-o.

This week, Oxford Professor of Poetry AE Stallings explores the elliptical brilliance of Anne Carson; and an interview with writer, filmmaker and artist Miranda July about her forthcoming novel.'Anne Carson: The Glass Essayist', by Elizabeth Sarah Coles'Wrong Norma', by Anne Carson'All Fours', by Miranda JulyProduced by Charlotte Pardy Hosted on Acast.

The egg, or the cosmic egg, is a primal symbol of creation. In honor of spring truly getting underway, episode 33 of Soror Mystica explores the egg in all its procreative glory. Eggs are present in mythologies the world over, often coming up in explanations of the birth of the world, which usually is figured by the bifurcation of an egg which splits into sky and earth. Join us as we explore the mysteries of egg symbolism as it emerges in religious traditions, creation myths, mystery cults, and of course, as a symbol of the potential contained within the feminine. Contemplations of the binary of necessity and potential, the Temperance card, the rebus, the mandorla of the World card, fire and water lend deeper context to this symbol. Eggs, snakes, and ancestors emerge, here, and we hope this episode is nourishing as spring gets underway. At the end of this episode, we interpret a listener's dream of being presented with a dagger.

This is the kind of conversation I dreamed about having when I began this podcast. Emily Wilson joins Close Readings to talk about Sappho's "Ode to Aphrodite," a poet and poem at the root of the lyric tradition in European poetry. You'll hear Emily read the poem in the Ancient Greek and then again in Anne Carson's English translation. We talk about the nature of erotic desire, what it's like to have a crush, and how a poem can be like a spell. Emily Wilson is Professor of Classical Studies at the University of Pennsylvania, where she holds the College for Women Class of 1963 Term Professor of the Humanities. She is a celebrated translator of Homer, having translated both The Odyssey and, more recently, The Iliad (both from Norton). Wilson has also published translations of Euripides, Sophocles, and Seneca—and is the author of three monographs: The Greatest Empire: A Life of Seneca (Oxford, 2014), The Death of Socrates: Hero, Villain, Chatterbox, Saint (Harvard, 2007), and Mocked with Death: Tragic Overliving from Sophocles to Milton (Johns Hopkins, 2004). You can follow Emily on Twitter.If you like what you hear, please follow the podcast and leave a rating and review. Share an episode with a friend!

In honor of the Vernal Equinox, this episode is dedicated to the shimmering, gently unfurling symbol of Spring! With winter behind us, the Sun and his warmth grows wilder and more golden with each passing day. But there is more to this season than the warming of the world. Spring is associated with the themes of resurrection, fertility, and the reclamation of the sovereign path. Our listener symbol this episode is a contemplation of the theme of being chased in our dreams. Calling all astro-curious listeners of this show ~ Cristina is going to be teaching "Astrology for Beginners" this spring!

This is an odd duck of an episode. I intended it to be a review of H of H Playbook by Anne Carson. It turned into a bit of a ramble about Anselm Kiefer, Heracles, the Vulnerability Journal Project, and a walk between darkness and light. I'd love to hear what you think. You can email me at vulnerabilitylifeart@gmail.com Anne Carson is a Canadian classicist, poet, translator, and professor. She has written a wide range of books, including Eros the Bittersweet and Men in the Off Hour.

In this episode, guest host Jason Schneiderman writes… “In today's poem, Anne Carson engages Franz Kafka, but not directly.
