Welcome back to Consider Yourself Hugged! Today, Michelle and I are diving into The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath—one of the most hauntingly personal books on mental health, identity, and societal pressure. From the weight of expectations on women to the stigma surrounding depression and treatment, this book is filled with themes that still hit home today. But, as ChatGPT pointed out when I was researching, Michelle and I tend to approach heavy topics with a lighter touch—so we'll do our best to balance depth with relatability in today's conversation.

Air Date - 11 July 2024Sylvia Plath was an American poet, novelist, and short story writer best known for The Colossus and Other Poems, Ariel, and The Bell Jar, a semi-autobiographical novel published shortly before her suicide in 1963. What many are not aware of was her study of occult practices. My guest this week on Vox Novus, Julia Gordon-Bramer, spent 15 years researching Sylvia Plath's enduring interest and active practice in mysticism and the occult from childhood until her tragic death in 1963. Julia Gordon-Bramer is a Sylvia Plath scholar, professional Tarot card reader, award-winning writer and poet, and former professor for the Graduate Writing Program at Lindenwood University. She is the author of several books, including Fixed Stars Govern A Life: Decoding Sylvia Path, and Tarot Life Lessons. Her website is https://juliagordonbramer.com/ and she joins me this week to share her path and new book, The Occult Sylvia Plath: The Hidden Spiritual Life of the Visionary Poet.#JuliaGordonBramer #VoxNovus #VictorFuhrman #NewThought #Lifestyle #Metaphysics #Paranormal #SpiritualityVisit the Vox Novus Show Page https://omtimes.com/iom/shows/vox-novus/Connect with Victor Fuhrman at http://victorthevoice.com/Subscribe to our Newsletter https://omtimes.com/subscribe-omtimes-magazine/Connect with OMTimes on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Omtimes.Magazine/ and OMTimes Radio https://www.facebook.com/ConsciousRadiowebtv.OMTimes/Twitter: https://twitter.com/OmTimes/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/omtimes/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/2798417/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/omtimes/

Alegra dissects the book, pausing to give personal anecdotes from her life, while also breaking down some of the backstory of the novel itself. With the Madonna Wh*re Complex, high functioning depression, and the history of lobotomies all covered in the first episode, where else is there to go in future episodes?

You may not know the name Judith Jones, but you've certainly felt this dynamic woman's impact and influence on culture. Judith Jones was the editor behind books like The Diary of Anne Frank and Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Child; she was also behind authors like Sylvia Plath, John Updike, Langston Hughes, Sharon Olds, and so many others. Her work, as our guest today writes in her new book, was “unrivaled in the industry.” Book editors are kind of shadow figures—they're behind-the-scenes, unsung heroes, who, as Sara B. Franklin writes in her book The Editor: How Judith Jones Shaped Culture in America, which came out on May 28, are people who “work in the service of their authors, not themselves, and their touch is meant to be difficult, if not impossible, for readers to see”—a bit of an invisible hand, if you will. Judith Jones rose through the ranks of publishing when it was very much an industry still dominated by men; one of her gifts was the ability to see talent in women writers, especially women writers many had overlooked. It's hard to believe that, for example, publishers weren't chomping at the bit for the works of Anne Frank or Julia Child, but they weren't; it was Judith who saw their books through to the finish line. She is most associated with cookbooks, and Sara writes that Judith may never have fully gotten the respect she so deserved because “books about food were (and to some extent still are) treated with an air of condescension by the literary world.” Sara and I talk about that on the show today, as well as topics like Judith's portrayal in the 2009 Nora Ephron film Julie & Julia—which Judith didn't like so much—and some of Judith's misses, like with the aforementioned Sylvia Plath and The Bell Jar. Through Sara's book, Judith emerges from the shadows to the spotlight—the amount of passion and dedication Sara put into this bestselling book is remarkable. I can't wait for you to meet Sara and, through her, meet Judith. A little about Sara: she is a writer, teacher, and oral historian who teaches courses on food, writing, embodied culture, and oral history at NYU's Gallatin School of Individualized Study. In addition to writing The Editor, she also edited Edna Lewis, co-authored The Phenicia Diner Cookbook, and holds a PhD in food studies from NYU and studied documentary storytelling at both the Duke Center for Documentary Studies and the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies. Take a listen to our conversation.   The Editor: How Judith Jones Shaped Culture in America by Sara B. Franklin

I had a blast chatting with the great Australian-born actor and world-class raconteur, Thaao Penghlis, about his career and creative process.  If you're a fan of NBC's long-running soap opera, Days of Our Lives, then you're also likely to be a fan of Thaao's. He's had a remarkable four-decade, 1500+ episode run on the show playing both the seductively villainous Count Tony DiMera and the Count's evil look-a-like impersonator Andre DiMera. Thaao has earned 3 Emmy nominations for Outstanding Leading Actor and a Soap Opera Digest Award for Favorite Return.Thaao's infamous dual roles are on top of playing a wide-range of characters on various TV series, movies, and plays, including two other daytime series, General Hospital and Santa Barbara, as well as appearances on the 1980's prime time reboot of Mission Impossible, in which Thaao played master-of-disguise Nicholas Black. Other notable appearances include the films Slow Dancing in the Big City, Ken Russell's Altered States, The Bell Jar, Sadat, Sidney Sheldon's Memories of Midnight, Under Siege, Tribe, and as Dame Edna's lover, Colonel Godowni in the cult classic Les Patterson Saves the World. A world traveler and celebrated host of Hollywood dinner parties, Thaao has authored his memoir Places: The Journey of My Days, My Lives, and also the cookbook Seducing Celebrities One Meal at a Time.Thaao, whose family were Greek immigrants to Australia, has poured his passions for all things Greece into a new podcast, The Lost Treasures, a fantastic detective story-style exploration of Greece's greatest contribution to the world's literature, the poet Homer.  The Lost Treasures explores the Iliad and the Odyssey through the amazing life of German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann, who changed history when he discovered the real-life locations and treasures in the epic poems.Written and narrated by Thaao, the podcast draws on his exclusive access to 60,000 pages of long-hidden documents and diaries.

She is in her natural frequency and not trying to be someone else." — Benjamin Shield"We see how our clients come alive, and it's the grace, it's their inner beauty that emerges as they become more sensual, more comfortable in their bodies." — Lisa Shield"When a woman is in her senses and she's savoring her food, she's enjoying the sense of nature or the food she's eating... It both mesmerizes and magnetizes a man, because women offer something that men don't have." — Benjamin Shield“True love is absolute emotional nakedness. It's not hiding anything from each other or feeling that there's anything to hide. That's just so beautiful. I don't know how many people actually get to this level of emotional nakedness. I think it's what everybody wants. But you have to first find the right partner to do this with." — Lisa Shield“There's a difference between deep sensuality and overt sexuality. They're very different. When a woman is in her sensuality, a man sees her as being whole and complete." — Benjamin ShieldContinue On Your Journey: Lisa Shield | YouTube | Facebook | Instagram | Book a Call With LisaEmail the podcast at: podcast@lisashield.com

In dieser Ausgabe des HCA Podcast spricht Anja Schüler über Autorin und Werk mit Philipp Löffler, der als Senior Lecturer am HCA amerikanische Literatur- und Kulturgeschichte lehrt und zu den Schnittstellen zwischen Literatur, literarischen Märkten und höheren Bildungseinrichtungen forscht.

Josh Porter is pastor of teaching and creative vision at Van City Church in Vancouver, Washington. In episode 265 of the Expositors Collective podcast he speaks with Mike Neglia about the collaborative sermon preparation process that was modeled for him at Bridgetown Church in Portland, Oregon, as well as the rhythms of feedback and critique and accountability that have characterized the preaching at Van City Church. They also discuss his newest book Death to Deconstruction: Reclaiming Faithfulness as an Act of Rebellion and the ongoing deconstruction / deconversion trend that is taking place now. How can preachers deliver sermons that address the important and potentially divisive issues that are important to people today? What are the limits and the opportunities of the pulpit? Josh has wrestled with doubt and despair of his own over the years and gives advice and hope to preachers speaking into the current milieu of doubt, ex-vangelicals, and skepticism.

in this episode, we look at the famous fig tree analogy in sylvia plath's the bell jar:-how it's been analyzed over time-my view on it,-we answer the scary question: what to do when you have multiple dreams? “I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet and another fig was a brilliant professor, and another fig was Ee Gee, the amazing editor, and another fig was Europe and Africa and South America, and another fig was Constantin and Socrates and Attila and a pack of other lovers with queer names and offbeat professions, and another fig was an Olympic lady crew champion, and beyond and above these figs were many more figs I couldn't quite make out. I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn't make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet.”―Sylvia Plath,The Bell Jar

Perhaps appropriate for January and the post-holidays slump, we take a look at the Bell Jar, Sylvia Plath's singular novel. As we swim out, we discuss honesty in writing, personality disorders, and even have a culinary portion where we try a "delicacy" from the book. There's much to discuss with this classic but if you expect nothing from us, you'll never be disappointed.

Subscribe to Quotomania on Simplecast or search for Quotomania on your favorite podcast app!Sylvia Plath was born on October 27, 1932, in Boston, Massachusetts. Her mother, Aurelia Schober, was a master's student at Boston University when she met Plath's father, Otto Plath, who was her professor. They were married in January of 1932. Otto taught both German and biology, with a focus on apiology, the study of bees. In 1940, when Plath was eight years old, her father died as a result of complications from diabetes. He had been a strict father, and both his authoritarian attitudes and his death drastically defined Plath's relationships and her poems—most notably in her elegiac and infamous poem "Daddy."Plath kept a journal from the age of eleven and published her poems in regional magazines and newspapers. Her first national publication was in the Christian Science Monitor in 1950, just after graduating from high school. In 1950, Plath matriculated at Smith College, where she graduated summa cum laude in 1955. After graduation, Plath moved to Cambridge, England, on a Fulbright Scholarship. In early 1956, she attended a party and met the English poet Ted Hughes. Shortly thereafter, Plath and Hughes were married, on June 16, 1956.Plath returned to Massachusetts in 1957 and began studying with Robert Lowell. Her first collection of poems, Colossus, was published in 1960 in England, and two years later in the United States. She returned to England, where she gave birth to her children Frieda and Nicholas, in 1960 and 1962, respectively. In 1962, Ted Hughes left Plath for Assia Gutmann Wevill. That winter, Plath wrote most of the poems that would comprise her most famous book, Ariel. In 1963, Plath published a semi-autobiographical novel, The Bell Jar, under the pseudonym Victoria Lucas. She died on February 11 of that year. Plath's poetry is often associated with the Confessional movement, and compared to the work of poets such as Lowell and fellow student Anne Sexton. Often, her work is singled out for the intense coupling of its violent or disturbed imagery and its playful use of alliteration and rhyme.Although only Colossus was published while she was alive, Plath was a prolific poet, and in addition to Ariel, Hughes published three other volumes of her work posthumously, including The Collected Poems, which was the recipient of the 1982 Pulitzer Prize. She was the first poet to posthumously win a Pulitzer Prize.From https://poets.org/poet/sylvia-plath. For more information about Sylvia Plath:“Sylvia Plath”: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/sylvia-plathThe Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath: ​​https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/131782/the-unabridged-journals-of-sylvia-plath-by-sylvia-plath-edited-by-karen-v-kukil/“Reviving the Journals of Sylvia Plath”: https://www.bl.uk/20th-century-literature/articles/reviving-the-journals-of-sylvia-plath“Sylvia Plath, a Postwar Poet Unafraid to Confront Her Own Despair”: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/obituaries/overlooked-sylvia-plath.html

Lee Kravetz's fictional account of Sylvia Plath and her circle of confessional poets is wonderfully performed. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile contributor Sandi Henschel discuss a story of three notebooks containing handwritten notes of Plath's THE BELL JAR. Points of view shift between Estee, curator of a contemporary auction house; Boston Rhodes, Slyvia's literary rival; and Ruth Barnhouse, Plath's psychiatrist. Reed's cultured tones provide Estee with intelligence and dignity, while Linden's voice drips poisonously as Rhodes reveals her venomous side. Vacker's Dr. Barnhouse is forward-thinking, determined, and sympathetic. Well-written and well-read, this is choice listening. Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile's website. Published by Harper Audio. Find more audiobook recommendations at audiofilemagazine.com Today's episode is sponsored by Naxos AudioBooks. The Blazing World is part fiction and part feminist text in which a lady is shipwrecked and seeks to ensure that the Blazing World in which she finds herself is transformed into a Utopia – free of war, sexual discrimination and religious discord. Lucy Scott narrates this fascinating and extravagant combination of what the author herself calls ‘romancical', ‘philosophical' and ‘fantastical'.

Sales of “The Bell Jar” are up!  Sports journalist and actor Gary Tanguay zooms in to talk about “The Arm and the Fall.” A quarter back commits suicide – or was he murdered? An unlikely duo of an aging sportscaster and rockstar detective deals with mobsters, egocentric owners, religious zealots, cheating spouses and more.

“The thing that really sort of blew me away, one of the reasons why we have sort of the type of poetry that we have today and the type of literature that we have today — it bloomed and was, I think, seeded in some ways by Sylvia Plath and her experience.” Lee Kravetz joins us on the show to talk about his unexpected and entertaining debut novel, The Last Confessions of Sylvia P., part literary mystery, part portrait of an immensely talented young woman and her impact on the world around her. Lee tells us about re-reading The Bell Jar, what he learned about poetry in order to write his new novel, the connection between confessional poetry of the 1960s and grunge music of the 1990s, the writers who've influenced him, and much more.   Featured books: The Last Confessions of Sylvia P. by Lee Kravetz The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath Life Studies and For the Union Dead by Robert Lowell The Mysteries of Pittsburgh by Michael Chabon Wonder Boys by Michael Chabon   Poured Over is produced and hosted by Miwa Messer, edited by David Eitel, and mixed by Harry Liang.
