Read along with the PDF available in the show-notes! After a hiatus, Bianca Stone is back to discuss Rilke. Taking a break from the Elegies to look back at Rilke’s first collection, A Book for the Hours of Prayer (Das Stundenbuch) from the Robert Bly translated “Selected Rilke.” In these poems there is a fierce […]

Philip Larkin was terrified of death from an early age; Thomas Hardy contemplated what the neighbours would say after he had gone; and Sylvia Plath imagined her own death in vivid and controversial ways. The genre of self-elegy, in which poets have reflected on their own passing, is a small but eloquent one in the history of English poetry. In this episode, Seamus and Mark consider some of its most striking examples, including Chidiock Tichborne's laconic lament on the night of his execution in 1586, Jonathan Swift's breezy anticipation of his posthumous reception, and the more comfortless efforts of 20th-century poets confronting godless extinction.Non-subscribers will only hear an extract from this episode.

The confessional poets of the mid-20th century considered themselves a ‘doomed' generation, with a cohesive identity and destiny. Their intertwining personal lives were laid bare in their work, and Robert Lowell, John Berryman and Elizabeth Bishop returned repeatedly to the elegy to commemorate old friends and settle old scores.In this episode, Mark and Seamus turn to elegies for poets by poets, tracing the intricate connections between them. Lowell, Berryman and Bishop's work was offset by a deep commitment to the literary tradition, and Mark and Seamus identify their shared influences and anxieties.Non-subscribers will only hear an extract from this episode.

Lauren Rhoades talks with poet and fiction writer Olivia Clare Friedman whose most recent collection of poetry, AN ARM FIXED TO A WING, was published by LSU Press. The poems in this book seek out the spiritual elements that haunt the everyday, the divine wing fastened to an earthly arm. Elegies and poems of nostalgia appear alongside pieces celebrating the speaker's present moment, with the underlying knowledge that such moments slip past too easily. Friedman is director of the Center for Writers at the University of Southern Mississippi. Listen as they discuss Olivia Clare Friedman's journey as an artist, the creation of her collection of poems, and her decision to return to her Southern roots. Hosted on Acast.

This episode looks at four poems whose subject would seem to lie beyond words: the death of a child. A defining feature of elegy is the struggle between poetic eloquence and inarticulate grief, and in these works by Ben Jonson, Anne Bradstreet, Geoffrey Hill and Elizabeth Bishop we find that tension at its most acute. Mark and Seamus consider the way each poem deals with the traditional demand of the elegy for consolation, and what happens when the form and language of love poetry subverts elegiac conventions.Non-subscribers will only hear an extract from this episode.

Described by The New York Times as “one of America's finest artists and singers,” Frederica von Stade continues to be extolled as one of the music world's most beloved figures. She has enriched the world of classical music for three decades.  Her career has taken her to the stages of the world's great opera houses and concert halls. She began at the top, when she received a contract from Rudolf Bing during the Metropolitan Opera auditions, and since her debut in 1970 she has sung nearly all of her great roles with the Met.  We talked about her signature role, Mozart's Cherubino, her love of Broadway, her respect for Placido Domingo and their Merry Widow performances, and her recent recording, with Thomas Hampson, Richard Danielpour's Elegies, a tribute to her father whom she never met.

On today's episode, Ari spoke with the extraordinary classical educator and University of Virginia professor Angel Adams Parham about the Black intellectual tradition and how it has been shaped by—and in turn can shape our contemporary understanding of—the classics.Along the way they talked about why Phillis Wheatley was fascinated by death; the importance of poetry in classical education; Frederick Douglass's oratory; classical education for all; faith and providence in Martin Luther King Jr.'s thought; Biblical literacy in America; the Greek tradition vs. the Biblical tradition; the Book of Lamentations; and much more!Guest Quote“In so much of Western culture, we have focused on “truth”. Truth and goodness, but especially truth. We've taken these truth-first approaches to understanding what it means to be a good society. What about beauty? What if we were to flip that and take beauty at the beginning? Beauty as our root to truth and goodness, and not always have beauty last. There's something about the tradition of philosophical critique that's led us to where we are today, that seems to strip things down to their most kind of mechanically rational in a way that can become anti-human.” - Angel Adams ParhamTime Stamps* (:01) Intro* (5:42) How Angel fell in love with the Classics* (14:09) Phyllis Wheatley, and the start of the African-American religious tradition* (21:33) Elegies and everyday poetry* (31:58) What's a Classic anyways?* (37:55) Faith within the Black intellectual tradition* (45:24) The Bible as the basis for Western LiteratureGood Faith Effort is a production of SoulShop, Bnai Zion, and Caspian StudiosLinksFollow Ari on TwitterFind out more about AngelThe Black Intellectual Tradition: Reading Freedom in Classical Literature on Amazon Books

Philip Larkin was just five years old when Hardy died in 1928, but this English poet and novelist was going to have a profound influence on Larkin's writing.

For this week's Talkhouse Podcast we've got a special two-part episode featuring both members of one of my favorite bands, Wye Oak, in conversation with some other fantastic musicians, so be sure to stick around for both halves! First up it's Wye Oak's Jenn Wasner and singer-songwriter Johanna Samuels, both of whom have new music coming out, coincidentally, on June 23. Samuels has been making beautiful, deeply personal music for the last decade or so, and her new one is a doozy. The album is called Bystander, and it was recorded with Josh Kaufman of Bonny Light Horseman—he's the Josh you'll hear referenced in this chat. Check out “Ugly on the Inside” from Bystander right here. Samuels is joined here by Talkhouse pal Jenn Wasner, who's probably best known as half of Wye Oak, but has also recorded music recently under the name Flock of Dimes. It's no wonder that Wasner and Samuels get along, as both are incredibly thoughtful and sincere in their musical pursuits: They're looking for something much bigger than a hooky song to sing, they're out to connect on a deeper level. Wye Oak has sort of morphed into a different kind of band in recent years, choosing to stay away from the make-an-album-then-tour-forever cycle and instead release singles and one-off songs as Wasner and Andy Stack are able. A bunch of those songs have just been compiled on an album called Every Day Like the Last. They sound as good as anything the duo has done, which is to say they sound great. Check out “I Learned it From You” right here. In this conversation, Wasner and Samuels talk about the magic of the Newport Folk Festival, how great it is to work with Josh Kaufman, and how to express heavy thoughts within joyful music. You'll find out whether these are women of mystery, and you'll hear Wasner refer to herself as “a big golden retriever of a person.” Enjoy. In the second half of this epic Talkhouse two-parter, we've actually got three speakers: Andy Stack, who's best known as half of Wye Oak, but who's also made some solo records under the name Joyero. Along with him is Jay Hammond, with whom Stack recently made a great instrumental record, and Joe Westerlund. I'll start with Westerlund, and I'll try to do his bio justice: He started out in the Wisconsin band Deyarmond Edison, which has a massive retrospective box set coming out this year, and which is best known as the band that started Justin Vernon of Bon Iver down his musical path. Westerlund has also contributed to lots of other song-based music over the years, drumming for the likes of Califone and his project Megafaun. But it definitely feels like Westerlund has found his true calling in his solo instrumental work, including the recent Elegies for the Drift, whose compositions were largely inspired by important people in his life who'd passed away recently. It's a gorgeous, emotional ride. Check out “The Circle,” which is dedicated to Akron/Family's Miles Cooper Seaton, a friend of Westerlund's who tragically died in a car crash in 2021. It makes sense that Westerlund got together for a chat with Andy Stack and Jay Hammond, because they all have North Carolina in common: It's become something of a refuge for a bunch of bands over the past few years, with their friends in Sylvan Esso building a studio there, and lots of folks—including both members of Wye Oak—taking up residence there. Stack and Hammond got together recently and struck gold with a series of electro-acoustic improvisations that they winnowed down to album length and titled Inter Personal—a nod to the connection that they deepened by making this music together. Check out “Life on a Ship” right here.  Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast, and thanks to Johanna Samuels, Jenn Wasner, Andy Stack, Jay Hammond, and Joe Westerlund for chatting. This episode was produced by Myron Kaplan, and the Talkhouse theme is composed and performed by the Range. See you next time!

New season, new era, new rules. Okay that last one isn't strictly true, I'm just quoting a Scream movie tagline. More on that kind of thing next week. For now, NO ENCORE returns with Dave Hanratty joined by guest co-host Mark Conroy, who brings a particularly heavy Top 5 subject with him – seriously, this episode goes to some unavoidably emotional places, so be warned. Elegies are the order of the day as the boys present their shouts for the standout musical numbers that honour those who have departed this mortal coil. And if that sounds a touch too heavy for your Easter weekend, they also find time to throw Ed Sheeran under the bus. The metaphorical bus. We wish him no major harm. Honest. ACT ONE (6:17): Ed Sheeran rubbishes the delicate art of music criticism, Dua Lipa boards the Barbie movie, Dave rants about the Barbie movie, Keanu Reeves shows love to one of his favourite bands, a former Red Hot Chili Pepper throws shade, James Hetfield pens his masterpiece, and just how much money does Diddy owe Sting?

Ayad Akhtar won the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for his provocative play Disgraced, described as "a combustible powder keg of identity politics." He's also tackled themes of race and culture through fiction: his first novel, American Dervish, about a young Pakistani-American boy growing up in the Midwest, and his powerful, prize-winning 2020 novel, Homeland Elegies. Frankly autobiographical, Homeland Elegies explores the idea of the "American dream" through the experience of Akhtar's parents and his own dual identity as a Muslim American following the 9/11 attacks. *This episode originally aired Oct. 25, 2020.

Katie Grubbs, Victoria Reynolds Farmer, and Marie Hause talk about John Donne's elegies.

Two scholars embedded in publishing discuss the impact of chaos at Twitter and in social media more generally upon journalism and academic presses.

Synopsis On this day in 1900, the world first heard the Requiem of Gabriel Fauré in its full orchestral version at a concert at the Paris World Exhibition. Faure's Requiem ranks today among his best-known and best-loved compositions, and omits all reference to the terrors of the Last Judgment which appear in the traditional liturgical text, concentrating instead on comforting the bereaved. The Requiem was originally written for chorus and a more intimate chamber ensemble, and was occasioned by Fauré's sorrow at the death of his own father. The American composer Christopher Rouse has written a number of works dealing with the passing of friends and colleagues – works half-seriously, half-jokingly referred to as Rouse's “Death Cycle.” Rouse's Pulitzer Prize-winning Trombone Concerto from 1991 is dedicated to the memory of Leonard Bernstein; his Symphony No. 2, from 1994, contains a tribute to the young composer Stephen Albert, who died in a car crash; and a section of his Flute Concerto from 1993 reflects the composer's shock upon reading an account of the senseless tragedy of a two-year-old child, abducted from an English shopping mall and killed by two ten-year-olds. Los Angeles Times critic Mark Swed has noted that much of Rouse's work is “music of leave-taking… but it is also a music of catharsis, survival and a celebration of being alive.” Music Played in Today's Program Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924) – Requiem (The Cambridge Singers; John Rutter, cond.)

Her wit, charm, accomplishments, and the freedom she enjoyed provoked unverifiable legends, such as those claiming she rode to war, was taken to dressing like a man, and was a cultured courtesan. In 1555 she published a book of love sonnets, which are remarkable for their emotional intensity and their stylistic simplicity and which probably relate to her passion for the poet Olivier de Magny. The same volume also contained a prose dialogue, Débat de Folie et d'Amour (“Debate of Love and Folly”).From https://www.britannica.com/biography/Louise-Labe. For more information about Louise Labe:Love Sonnets and Elegies: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/232088/love-sonnets-and-elegies-by-louise-labe-translated-by-richard-sieburth-introduction-by-karin-lessing/“Louise Labé: A conversation with translator Richard Sieburth and editor Jeffrey Yang”: https://poetrysociety.org/features/tributes/louise-labé-a-conversation-with-translator-richard-sieburth-and-editor-jeffrey-yang

En 2010, dans le discours de remerciement qu'il prononça à la remise du Grand Prix Schiller de la poésie à Soleure, Philippe Jaccottet avait évoqué la découverte décisive, à l'adolescence, de poètes tels que Rilke, Rimbaud, Claudel ou Hölderlin, et « cette révélation que la poésie pouvait être non pas même la quête, mais plus simplement l'accueil de certains signes venus du dehors, par surprise, mais reçus au plus profond de soi, comme les flèches de l'amour ; signes précieux entre tous, dès lors qu'ils semblaient donner à notre monde, et à notre vie dans ce monde, contre tout désespoir, une espèce de sens ».  * Né en 1925 à Moudon, dans le canton de Vaud en Suisse Romande, disparu le 24 février 2021 à Grignan, dans la Drôme Provençale, où il s'était installé en 1953, le poète nous laisse une oeuvre dont Jean Starobinski écrivit qu'elle éveillait chez son lecteur une confiance dans « une parole loyale, qui habite le sens, comme la voix juste habite la mélodie ».   Dans cette archive de juin 2008, au micro d'Alain Veinstein, Philippe Jaccottet évoquait l'importance de sa rencontre avec le poète Gustave Roud, à l'adolescence ; les six années qu'il passa à Paris au lendemain de la seconde guerre mondiale, et au cours desquelles il rencontra entre autres Francis Ponge et Pierre Leyris ; le tournant que constitua son installation à Grignan, et sa traduction récente des Elegies de Duino, de Rilke, dont il confiait qu'il s'y était essayé, une première fois, à l'âge de dix-sept ans.  Par Alain Veinstein  Avec Philippe Jaccottet  Réalisation Gaël Gillon Surpris par la nuit - Contresens, avec Philippe Jaccottet (1ère diffusion : 23/06/2008) Archive Ina-Radio France

Work in Progress with Christopher Michaelson, discusses every working person's work in progress, namely, our quest to be fully human in a working world that all too often makes us feel like machines, in which we often don't even have time to think, and that, in the words of Studs Terkel, too often feels like “a Monday through Friday sort of dying.”Our third podcast episode airs with host Michaelson and two guests: Playwright, novelist, screenwriter, Pulitzer Prize winner, and the author of Homeland Elegies, Ayad Akhtar as well as the reviewer of Homeland Elegies, Associate Professor of Ethics and Executive Director of the Cary M. Maguire Center for Ethics in Financial Services at The American College of Financial Services, Azish Filabi, JD.  Michaelson, Akhtar and Filabi discuss Akhtar's recent book, Homeland Elegies, exploring the role capitalism played - and continues to play - in simultaneously building and crushing lives in the name of the American dream. This book review has also been published in The Journal of Business Ethics (JBE) to answer two questions: "Is this book worth reading?" and "What ideas or questions will this book illuminate for anyone with interest in business ethics?" To advance dialogue between scholars and the public about business ethics and society, this review will be free to access at JBE for a period of 8 weeks, ending September 30, 2021.With special thanks for the support of the Cary M. Maguire Center for Ethics in Financial Services at the American College of Financial Services and the Melrose & The Toro Company Center for Principled Leadership at the University of St. Thomas Opus College of Business.

Roberto's third collection, [Elegies], is published by Flower Song Press and his second poetry collection, black / Maybe: An Afro Lyric, is available from Willow Books.  Roberto's first collection, Melancolía, is available from Červená Barva Press.

"The aim of poetry is to awaken us to a fuller sense of our own humanity in both its social and individual aspects. . . . Poetic language . . . is holistic and experiential. Poetry simultaneously addresses our intellect and our physical senses, our emotions, imagination, intuition, and memory without asking us to divide them."-Dana Gioia, "Poetry as Enchantment"This episode begins a short run devoted to poems and the poets that pen them. As I've confessed before recording with a few recent guests, I myself don't "speak poetry," that is, I don't have all the technical terminology or conceptual capacities as might a seasoned reader, teacher, or practitioner of the craft. Nonetheless, I do read poetry, and have always had an intuitive sense of its high worth. And there is something of an advantage to being a truly amateurish reader of the art form, namely, I'm not encumbered or weighed down with unnecessary and cumbersome jargon or analytical preoccupations. Also, without fail, these guests have communicated how poetry is meant for the many, how it should speak to everything in our experience from the mundane to the sacred, or even how within the mundane lies the sacred. And so, I'm very happy to introduce my guest for this episode, A. M. Juster, an award-winning and highly regarded poet, translator, and critic. His most recent books include John Milton's The Book of Elegies, Saint Aldhelm's Riddles, and Sleaze & Slander. His first book of original poetry, The Secret Language of Women, won the Richard Wilbur Award. And he has also won the Howard Nemerov Sonnet Award on three separate occasions. Juster has a new book of verse just recently published, titled Wonder and Wrath, from Paul Dry Book, which you can find by clicking through today's show notes. Here he is talking about what got him writing poetry.LinksWonder and Wrath by A. M. JusterA. M. Juster's websiteSaint Aldhelm's Riddles, translated by A. M.
