Today's poem is Try to Praise the Mutilated World by Adam Zagajewski, translated by Clare Cavanagh. The Slowdown is currently taking a break. We'll be back soon with new episodes from a new host. This week, we're revisiting some favorites from Major Jackson's time as host. Today's episode was originally released on September 23, 2024. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes… “One of the great paradoxes in life is the presence of human suffering on the planet amidst prosperity. No religion can explain this other than point to some large cosmic plan. Sometimes it's tough bearing witness and walking in a world where one feels debilitated, and silence around other people's suffering feels like gaslighting.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

To lead into the next season of Enduring Interest, we're re-releasing our first two seasons, covering totalitarianism and ideology and liberal education. We'll be back on September 8 with a new season covering free speech and censorship. In this episode I speak with four previous guests on the podcast (Clare Cavanagh, Jacob Howland, Perry Link, and James Pontuso) and take up the question of the relationship between art and totalitarianism. We consider the fate of artistic inquiry and expression under totalitarian regimes both past and present. Why and how have totalitarian regimes sought to control all forms of art. How successful were and are such regimes in this effort? How have artists both past and present managed to elude their totalitarian masters and produce enduring works of art? In answering these and other questions, my guests draw on a range of examples from regimes such as the Soviet Union, Communist Poland and Czechoslovakia, and the People's Republic of China. We conclude with some recommendations for authors and books—especially for those who might be taking up this subject for the first time.
To lead into the next season of Enduring Interest, we're re-releasing our first two seasons, covering totalitarianism and ideology and liberal education. We'll be back on September 8 with a new season covering free speech and censorship. In this episode I speak with Clare Cavanagh, Frances Hooper Professor of Arts and Humanities and Professor of Slavic Languages and Literatures at Northwestern University. She's the author of a forthcoming authorized biography of Czeslaw Milosz and a prize-winning translator of the poets Adam Zagajewski and Wislawa Szymborska. Her essays and translations have appeared in publications including The New York Times Book Review, the New York Review of Books, the Times Literary Supplement, and Partisan Review. Some of her recently taught courses include What is Lyric Poetry? ; Gender and Revolution in Soviet Russian Culture; Heart of Europe: Poland in the Twentieth Century; Poetry and the Cold War; and 19th Century Russian Poetry. Clare and I discuss three poems by Czeslaw Milosz: “You Who Wronged”; “Child of Europe”; and “Mittelbergheim.” These poems are from an early collection called Daylight, some which were written when Milosz was working as a cultural attaché for the post-war Polish government. Clare calls Daylight a “book of struggle” where Milosz is asking questions about his audience and his own perspective and role as a poet. He writes about the falsification of history and the corruptions of ideology. We draw some connections between the poems and the arguments elucidated in his famous book The Captive Mind. Clare also offers her thoughts on Milosz's conception of the role of poetry broadly speaking. We conclude our conversation with some recommendations for listeners on where one might start to engage with Milosz's vast body of work. Clare also shares some of her experiences in meeting Milosz in Krakow and her impressions of him.

It's been translated by Clare Cavanagh.I haven't written a single poem in months. I've lived humbly, reading the paper, pondering the riddle of power and the reasons for obedience. I've watched sunsets (crimson, anxious), I've heard the birds grow quiet and night's muteness. I've seen sunflowers dangling their heads at dusk, as if a careless hangman had gone strolling through the gardens. September's sweet dust gathered on the windowsill and lizards hid in the bends of walls. I've taken long walks, craving one thing only: lightning, transformation, you.This episode was produced by Joey Taylor and the music is from Jeff Gorman.

Longtime listeners know Sherry Turkle – the social psychologist who studies what technology does to our relationships. If you heard our interview from a few months back, you'll also be familiar with the seven minute conversation theory she discovered in the course of her most recent research. It goes like this: in a real, verbal, human conversation, it takes at least seven minutes to see whether or not a conversation will be interesting or not. Today, we're going to test this theory. Your instructions: Do something with all that wonderful goal-oriented information you've been consuming. Discuss something you've heard/read/watched with someone by phone or in person for at least seven minutes. Need some more ideas to start your conversation? We've asked the team behind the scenes here – a diverse group of artists, developers, editors, audio wizards, and more – to put together a collection of prompts they think can sustain seven minutes. We've included their Twitter handles in case you'd like to report back! Fix Something "What are three products that you use? If you had to add one feature to them, what would it be and why?" – Marine Boudeau, Director of Design, @marineboudeau Fix Something Edible "Have you ever made something (or wanted to) you first tried at a restaurant? I just spent three, count ‘em, three! days recreating chef David Chang's kimchi stew. It was a really fun experience that took a lot of focus and creativity. (I couldn't find chicken backs so I had to get creative!) Many of my capable friends have recreated cocktails from favorite bars, and I've had a few fabulous versions of the Neiman Marcus cookies from talented home bakers." – Mandy Naglich, Manager of Marketing and Audience Development, @MandyKN Elephant Tears "We read novels, watch movies and TV, gossip with friends, and follow politics all with the help of an assumed understanding of other people's inner lives. Do you ever think about the inner lives of animals? What is their inner monologue? This is a clip from a longer documentary. You can hear Solomon articulate his feelings about Shirley. What might the animals be thinking/feeling/experiencing?" – Amy Pearl, Senior Producer, @sugarpond The Demands of On Demand "What effect will on-demand content (Netflix, podcasts, etc.) have on the future of traditional broadcast media?" – Joe Plourde, Sound Designer A Conversation About Conversation "Say someone you know travels somewhere interesting.
