In this episode of Biographers in Conversation, the distinguished British biographer Oliver Soden chats with Dr Gabriella Kelly-Davies about his choices while crafting Jeoffry: The Poet's Cat. Jeoffry was a real cat who lived in a London asylum with Christopher Smart, an 18th-century poet. Here's what you'll discover in this episode: How Virginia Woolf's Flush: A Biography, the imaginative biography of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's cocker spaniel, influenced Oliver Soden's choices while crafting The Poet's Cat How Oliver cleverly used Jeoffry as a lens through which to explore Christopher Smart's character, personality and often troubled life How Oliver retraced Jeoffry's and Christopher Smart's real and imagined footsteps in 18th-century London, discovering its vibrant cast of characters such as King George, the composer Handel and Samuel Johnson, one of the towering figures of British literature How Oliver balanced fact and fiction given his admission that ‘the dividing line between fact and fiction is necessarily wobbly' in The Poet's Cat, and ‘sometimes one is disguised as the other' How Oliver accessed Jeoffry's interior life and inner monologue, enabling him to write from the perspective of an 18th-century alley cat How Oliver shifted from the traditional, scholarly tone and narrative style of his biographies of the composer Michael Tippett and playwright Noël Coward to the whimsical, witty, affectionate and playful style of The Poet's Cat How Oliver balanced the lightheartedness of Jeoffry's antics with the book's deeper philosophical themes.

In this episode, we read and discuss Emily Dickinson's poem about the death of Elizabeth Barrett Browning. We discuss Dickinson's innovative syntax, her use of deep pauses, and her meditations on death and grief that create surprising effects in this short lyric. I went to thank Her I went to thank Her— But She Slept— Her Bed—a funneled Stone— With Nosegays at the Head and Foot— That Travellers—had thrown— Who went to thank Her— But She Slept— 'Twas Short—to cross the Sea— To look upon Her like—alive— But turning back—'twas slow—

Leitura bíblica do dia: Isaías 55:6-13 Plano de leitura anual: Eclesiastes 1-3; 2 Coríntios 11:16-33; Já fez seu devocional hoje? Aproveite e marque um amigo para fazer junto com você! Confira: “Olha, vovô! Aquelas árvores estão acenando para Deus!”. Enquanto observávamos os galhos se curvando ao vento antes da tempestade que se aproximava, o entusiasmo do meu neto me fez sorrir e questionar: “Será que tenho essa fé tão cheia de imaginação?”. Refletindo sobre a história de Moisés e do arbusto ardente, a poetisa Elizabeth Barrett Browning escreveu que “A Terra está repleta de Céu, / E cada arbusto comum em chamas de Deus; / Mas somente o que vê lhe presta reverência” (tradução livre). A criação de Deus está evidente ao nosso redor nas maravilhas que Ele fez, e um dia, quando a Terra se tornar nova, nós a veremos como jamais a vimos. Deus nos fala desse dia pelo profeta que proclama: “Vocês viverão com alegria e paz; os montes e as colinas cantarão, e as árvores do campo baterão palmas” (Isaías 55:12). Montes cantando? Árvores batendo palmas? Por que não? Paulo observou isso “na esperança de que, com os filhos de Deus, a criação seja gloriosamente liberta da decadência que a escraviza” (Romanos 8:21). Jesus falou das pedras “clamando” (Lucas 19:40), ecoando a profecia de Isaías sobre o que está por vir a quem vem a Ele para obter a salvação. Quando olhamos para Ele com fé que imagina o que somente Deus pode fazer, veremos que as Suas maravilhas continuam para sempre! Por: James Banks

In this computerized age, we tend to see memory as a purely cerebral faculty. To memorize is to store information away in the brain in such a way as to make it retrievable at a later time. But the old expression "knowing by heart" calls us to a stranger, more embodied and mysterious take on memory. In this episode, Phil and JF endeavour to recite two poems they've learned by heart, as a preamble to a discussion on poetry, form, and the magic of memory.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning's deeply disturbing 1847 poem about a woman escaping slavery and killing her child was written to shock its intended white female readership to the abolitionist cause. Browning was the direct descendant of slave owners in Jamaica and a fervent anti-slavery campaigner, and her dramatic monologue presents a searing attack on the hypocrisy of ‘liberty' as enshrined in the United States constitution. Mark and Seamus look at the origins of the poem and its story, and its place among other abolitionist narratives of the time.Sign up to the Close Readings subscription to listen ad free and to all our series in full:Directly in Apple PodcastsIn other podcast appsRead more in the LRBMatthew Bevis: Foiled by PleasureAlethea Hayter: Reader, I married youJohn Bayley: A Question of BreathingColin Grant: Leave them weepingFara Dabhoiwala: My Runaway Slave, Reward Two Guineas Hosted on Acast.

Poet Christina Rossetti was born in 1830, the youngest child in an extraordinarily gifted family. Her father, the Italian poet and political exile Gabriele Rossetti, immigrated to England in 1824 and established a career as a Dante scholar and teacher of Italian in London. He married the half-English, half-Italian Frances Polidori in 1826, and they had four children in quick succession: Maria Francesca in 1827, Gabriel Charles Dante (famous under the name Dante Gabriel but always called Gabriel by family members) in 1828, William Michael in 1829, and Christina Georgina on 5 December 1830. In 1831 Gabriele Rossetti was appointed to the chair of Italian at the newly opened King's College. The children received their earliest education, and Maria and Christina all of theirs, from their mother, who had been trained as a governess and was committed to cultivating intellectual excellence in her family. Certainly this ambition was satisfied: Maria was the author of a respected study of Dante, as well as books on religious instruction and Italian grammar and translation; Dante Gabriel distinguished himself as one of the foremost poets and painters of his era; and William was a prolific art and literary critic, editor, and memoirist of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Christina became one of the Victorian age's finest poets. She was the author of numerous books of poetry, including Goblin Market and other Poems (1862), The Prince's Progress (1866), A Pageant (1881), and The Face of the Deep (1882).Rossetti's poetry has never disappeared from view. Critical interest in Rossetti's poetry swelled in the final decades of the twentieth century, a resurgence largely impelled by the emergence of feminist criticism; much of this commentary focuses on gender issues in her poetry and on Rossetti as a woman poet. In Rossetti's lifetime opinion was divided over whether she or Elizabeth Barrett Browning was the greatest female poet of the era; in any case, after Browning's death in 1861 readers and critics saw Rossetti as the older poet's rightful successor. The two poets achieved different kinds of excellence, as is evident in Dante Gabriel Rossetti‘s comment on his sister, quoted by William Sharp in The Atlantic Monthly (June 1895): “She is the finest woman-poet since Mrs. Browning, by a long way; and in artless art, if not in intellectual impulse, is greatly Mrs. Browning's superior.” Readers have generally considered Rossetti's poetry less intellectual, less political, and less varied than Browning's; conversely, they have acknowledged Rossetti as having the greater lyric gift, with her poetry displaying a perfection of diction, tone, and form under the guise of utter simplicity.-bio via Poetry Foundation Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

“How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.” Those words from Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s Sonnets from the Portuguese are among the best-known poetry in the English language. She wrote them to Robert Browning before they were married, and he was so moved he encouraged her to publish her entire collection of poems. But because the language of the sonnets was very tender, out of a desire for personal privacy Barrett published them as if they were translations from a Portuguese writer. Sometimes we can feel awkward when we openly express affection for others. But the Bible, by contrast, doesn’t hold back on its presentation of God’s love. Jeremiah recounted God’s affection for His people with these tender words: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness” (Jeremiah 31:3). Even though His people had turned from Him, God promised to restore them and personally draw them near. “I will come to give rest to Israel,” He told them (v. 2). Jesus is the ultimate expression of God’s restorative love, giving peace and rest to any who turn to Him. From the manger to the cross to the empty tomb, He’s the personification of God’s desire to call a wayward world to Himself. Read the Bible cover to cover and you’ll “count the ways” of God’s love over and over; but eternal as they are, you’ll never come to their end.

Los hechos en el caso de M. Valdemar (The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar) —a veces publicado alternativamente como La verdad sobre el caso del señor Valdemar, El extraño caso del señor Valdemar o Los hechos en el caso del señor Valdemar— es un relato de terror del escritor norteamericano Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849), publicado en la edición de diciembre de 1845 de la revista American Whig Review. [ver: ¡ESTOY MUERTO!: análisis del «Caso Valdemar» de E.A. Poe]Los hechos en el caso de M. Valdemar se introduce en el tema del mesmerismo, el magnetismo y la hipnosis, temas que por entonces captaban un gran interés de los lectores. Aquí, un grupo de científicos decide utilizar la influencia del magnetismo para actuar sobre alguien que se encuentra en el umbral de la muerte, no ya para sanarlo, sino para suspender su agonía y de ese modo examinar el proceso de la muerte.El paciente, o mejor dicho, la víctima de estas operaciones, es un hombre de apellido Valdemar; enfermo terminal de tuberculosis —al igual que la esposa de E.A. Poe, Virginia Clemm— quien acepta participar del experimento. Valdemar, ya moribundo, es llevado a un estado de trance. Después de un tiempo afirma que está muerto aunque de hecho puede comunicarse mediante una voz horrorosa que brota de su boca abierta e inarticulada. Sin pulso, sin respiración, Valdemarprolonga una agonía indescriptible a lo largo de siete meses.Los hechos en el caso de M. Valdemar apareció casi simultáneamente en Estados Unidos e Inglaterra. Muchas personas llegaron a creer que se trataba de una historia real debido al lenguaje periodístico que utiliza Edgar Allan Poe. Incluso un investigador paranormal de Londres, llamado Robert Collyer, le envió una sentida carta a Edgar Allan Poe relatándole un caso similar en el que había participado.Otra de las personas cautivadas por Los hechos en el caso de M. Valdemar fue nada menos que la poetisa Elizabeth Barrett Browning, quién admiró sobre todo la economía de recursos de Edgar Allan Poe para conducir al lector a un desenlace verdaderamente aterrador. Rudyard Kipling también hace referencia a Los hechos en el caso de M. Valdemar en el relato: En la casa de Suddhoo (In the House of Suddhoo).Los hechos en el caso de M. Valdemar es, quizás, un relato de terror que se anticipa a los excesos del cine y el humor gráfico. Lo nauseabundo, lo repugnante, los jugos cadavéricos, la textura de la descomposición, del pus, de las excrecencias amarillentas y biliososa, de los humores nauseabundos, son un recurso sostenido dentro del texto.Uno de los que más alabó este clásico fue H.P. Lovecraft, para quien Los hechos en el caso de M. Valdemar se encuentra entre los cuentos de terror de E.A. Poe que más lo influenciaron. Por cierto, en el siguiente artículo: «In Articulo Mortis»: Poe, Lovecraft y algunas opciones para retrasar la muerte, se analizan algunas similitudes con el relato de Lovecraft: Aire frío (Cool Air).Los hechos en el caso de M. Valdemar integra una fracción de relatos fantásticos de Edgar Allan Poe que se anticipan a la ciencia ficción, o más propiamente dicho, a la pseudo-ciencia ficción; cuentos en donde se examinan distintos fenómenos paranormales aunque el propio autor no les asignaba ningún tipo de crédito. Los otros dos relatos que cierran esta especie de trilogía paranormal son: Von Kempelen y su descubrimiento (Von Kempelen and His Discovery) y Revelación mesmérica (Mesmeric Revelation).Edgar Allan Poe realmente no dejó ningún detalle librado al azar. Incluso el nombre Valdemar, que significa "valle del mar", sugiere algún tipo de estado transitivo entre lo sólido (el cuerpo vivo) y lo líquido (el cadáver licuefacto que se deshace violentamente).Los hechos sobre el caso de M. Valdemar.The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar, Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849)

Cinthia opened today's episode with a famous sonnet by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, entitled “How Do I Love Thee?”  The poem famously begins, “How do I love thee?  Let me count the ways,” and then beautifully lists a variety of ways the lover in the poem loves the beloved.  Cinthia cited this as a beautiful exploration of the reality that love is acted upon, carried out, expressed in actions and gestures that mean something to the lover and to the beloved. Have you ever done something meaningful for someone you loved, only to observe that the individual didn't seem to find it meaningful?  It is very important to know how people want to be loved.  It can be exhausting to give and give but find that the person to whom we are giving is not emotionally nurtured by the things we are giving.  In The Five Love Languages, Gary Chapman listed five “languages” through which people give and receive love; these were words of affirmation, quality time, physical touch, acts of service, receiving gifts.   Chapman asserted that individuals tend to have preferred ways in which they most like to be shown love, ways that most effectively communicate love to each person.  Cinthia elaborated today on the idea that, while we can all receive love in a variety of ways and may not have only one “love language,” we do have primary preferences in this area, communications of affection that resonate with us more than others, gestures that give us emotional nourishment we can most easily receive.   Recognizing and honoring one another's love languages streamlines our efforts in relationships, making our attempts to meet one another's needs more effective and keeping the needs from becoming overwhelming. Learning to communicate through love languages is a process.  As a loved one, knowing yourself involves knowing what makes you feel loved and owning it.  Adults can accept not having emotional needs met in every situation, but, in close relationships, it is helpful to communicate to other people what will most help us to feel loved. Simultaneously, we must learn the preferences of those we love and be willing to communicate with them in these ways.  Cinthia explains, “When we are loving someone, it is an investigative process… The problem is, I probably need to learn how to love you instead of assuming that the way I love feels good to you.  See, we have this tendency to want to love people the way that we feel love.  But the most loving thing I could do is to love you the way you want to be loved.  This means I may need to do things that aren't very exciting to me, or fun, or invigorating.  But, if I do them, you feel great.  And, really, maybe that's the point.”  Are you willing to communicate love to your closest loved ones, even when it feels involves altering some of your habits or behaviors, feeling uncomfortable, or engaging in gestures that are not meaningful to you but mean a lot to the one you love? There are specific messages we need to receive in order to feel loved.  These include, “I see you,” which we gain from focused attention, presence, fulfillment the basic human need to be seen; “I know you,”  which involves understanding what something might be like for an individual and recognizing how various experiences might be different for one person than for someone else; and, “You're safe with me,” which requires being able to trust someone with confidences and know that tolerance, forgiveness, acceptance, and desire for growth will be part of the relationship. Cinthia briefly explored each of the five love languages.  Regarding people whose love language is acts of service, she noted that actions are required to back up words spoken.  For those whose love language is receiving gifts, the focus is not on how expensive the gift is but on the communication that you know what would please that person and have taken effort to do so.  Quality time involves uninterrupted focus, prioritizing your time together, connecting emotionally; while the activity itself is not really the point, planning for and protecting the time together and the focus on each other during that time is important.  Words of affirmation can involve verbal or written communication that says how much the person is loved and should also include why, noting specific traits that are appreciated about the beloved.  Physical touch, for those who most value it, helps them know that you like being with them, being next to them, creating your own space together; it can involve sexual intimacy in romantic relationships but can also involve other forms of touch, such as shaking hands, patting a back, giving a hug, etc. It comes down to the “do” – How “DO” I love you?  Are you willing to learn, to adapt?  If your beloved values being on time, are you willing to make an effort to be on time for that person?  If someone you love needs help with something, are you willing to help you, even if it involves something that feels like work for you?  How can we give one another concrete experiences of our love, working to make the relationship viable and enduring?  Let me count the ways…

The secret wedding of poets Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning on September 12th, 1846, was witnessed by just two people. Elizabeth was so nervous about the ceremony, held at Marylebone Parish Church, that she needed smelling salts to calm her.  Barrett was already an acclaimed poet, while Browning was relatively unknown at the time. But their correspondence, comprising almost 600 letters exchanged over less than two years, is considered one of literature's great romances.  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how the Brownings' marriage inspired their greatest works; probe into Browning's pet name for Barrett, ‘the Portuguese'; and consider whether, contrary to all appearances, Browning may have had sinister intentions for his new wife…  Further Reading: • ‘Elizabeth Barrett Browning: Life, Poetry, Relationship & ‘How Do I Love Thee?''

Today's poem is by Elizabeth Barrett Browning (née Moulton-Barrett; 6 March 1806 – 29 June 1861), an English poet of the Victorian era, popular in Britain and the United States during her lifetime.In the 1840s, Elizabeth was introduced to literary society through her distant cousin and patron John Kenyon. Her first adult collection of poems was published in 1838, and she wrote prolifically between 1841 and 1844, producing poetry, translation, and prose. She campaigned for the abolition of slavery, and her work helped influence reform in the child labour legislation. Her prolific output made her a rival to Tennyson as a candidate for poet laureate on the death of Wordsworth.Elizabeth's volume Poems (1844) brought her great success, attracting the admiration of the writer Robert Browning. Their correspondence, courtship, and marriage were carried out in secret, for fear of her father's disapproval. Following the wedding, she was indeed disinherited by her father. In 1846, the couple moved to Italy, where she would live for the rest of her life. They had a son, known as "Pen" (Robert Wiedeman Barrett Browning) (1849–1912). Pen devoted himself to painting until his eyesight began to fail later in life; he also built up a large collection of manuscripts and memorabilia of his parents; however, since he died intestate, it was sold by public auction to various bidders, and scattered upon his death. The Armstrong Browning Libraryhas tried to recover some of his collection, and now houses the world's largest collection of Browning memorabilia.[3] Elizabeth died in Florence in 1861.[1][4] A collection of her last poems was published by her husband shortly after her death.Elizabeth's work had a major influence on prominent writers of the day, including the American poets Edgar Allan Poe and Emily Dickinson. She is remembered for such poems as "How Do I Love Thee?" (Sonnet 43, 1845) and Aurora Leigh (1856).—Bio via Wikipedia Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

Today's meditation comes from The Book Of Exodus in The Old Testament and from the writings of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, with music by Cody Martin.Passage: Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.”When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!”And Moses said, “Here I am.”“Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is sacred ground.” —Exodus 3:1-5Perspective: Earth's crammed with heaven... but only he who sees, takes off his shoes. ―Elizabeth Barrett BrowningMusic: “Home Is Where The Heart Is” by Cody MartinNarrator: Ryan Phipps

Cinthia opened today's episode with a famous sonnet by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, entitled “How Do I Love Thee?”  The poem famously begins, “How do I love thee?  Let me count the ways,” and then beautifully lists a variety of ways the lover in the poem loves the beloved.  Cinthia cited this as a beautiful exploration of the reality that love is acted upon, carried out, expressed in actions and gestures that mean something to the lover and to the beloved. Have you ever done something meaningful for someone you loved, only to observe that the individual didn't seem to find it meaningful?  It is very important to know how people want to be loved.  It can be exhausting to give and give but find that the person to whom we are giving is not emotionally nurtured by the things we are giving.  In The Five Love Languages, Gary Chapman listed five “languages” through which people give and receive love; these were words of affirmation, quality time, physical touch, acts of service, receiving gifts.   Chapman asserted that individuals tend to have preferred ways in which they most like to be shown love, ways that most effectively communicate love to each person.  Cinthia elaborated today on the idea that, while we can all receive love in a variety of ways and may not have only one “love language,” we do have primary preferences in this area, communications of affection that resonate with us more than others, gestures that give us emotional nourishment we can most easily receive.   Recognizing and honoring one another's love languages streamlines our efforts in relationships, making our attempts to meet one another's needs more effective and keeping the needs from becoming overwhelming. Learning to communicate through love languages is a process.  As a loved one, knowing yourself involves knowing what makes you feel loved and owning it.  Adults can accept not having emotional needs met in every situation, but, in close relationships, it is helpful to communicate to other people what will most help us to feel loved. Simultaneously, we must learn the preferences of those we love and be willing to communicate with them in these ways.  Cinthia explains, “When we are loving someone, it is an investigative process… The problem is, I probably need to learn how to love you instead of assuming that the way I love feels good to you.  See, we have this tendency to want to love people the way that we feel love.  But the most loving thing I could do is to love you the way you want to be loved.  This means I may need to do things that aren't very exciting to me, or fun, or invigorating.  But, if I do them, you feel great.  And, really, maybe that's the point.”  Are you willing to communicate love to your closest loved ones, even when it feels involves altering some of your habits or behaviors, feeling uncomfortable, or engaging in gestures that are not meaningful to you but mean a lot to the one you love? There are specific messages we need to receive in order to feel loved.  These include, “I see you,” which we gain from focused attention, presence, fulfillment the basic human need to be seen; “I know you,”  which involves understanding what something might be like for an individual and recognizing how various experiences might be different for one person than for someone else; and, “You're safe with me,” which requires being able to trust someone with confidences and know that tolerance, forgiveness, acceptance, and desire for growth will be part of the relationship. Cinthia briefly explored each of the five love languages.  Regarding people whose love language is acts of service, she noted that actions are required to back up words spoken.  For those whose love language is receiving gifts, the focus is not on how expensive the gift is but on the communication that you know what would please that person and have taken effort to do so.  Quality time involves uninterrupted focus, prioritizing your time together, connecting emotionally; while the activity itself is not really the point, planning for and protecting the time together and the focus on each other during that time is important.  Words of affirmation can involve verbal or written communication that says how much the person is loved and should also include why, noting specific traits that are appreciated about the beloved.  Physical touch, for those who most value it, helps them know that you like being with them, being next to them, creating your own space together; it can involve sexual intimacy in romantic relationships but can also involve other forms of touch, such as shaking hands, patting a back, giving a hug, etc. It comes down to the “do” – How “DO” I love you?  Are you willing to learn, to adapt?  If your beloved values being on time, are you willing to make an effort to be on time for that person?  If someone you love needs help with something, are you willing to help you, even if it involves something that feels like work for you?  How can we give one another concrete experiences of our love, working to make the relationship viable and enduring?  Let me count the ways…

"The Lost Weekend" was the handle John implemented (picked up by subsequent narrators) to describe the period of his separation from Yoko, during which time a romantic relationship began with his 22 year-old personal assistant, May Pang. Once the couple reconciled, May's impact on his life was swept under the rug in all sanctioned tellings, in the service of a narrative propping up the John and Yoko love story as the ultimate double fantasy: literally describing themselves as Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning incarnate.  Others beg to differ and among them is May herself. Her story was told twice in book form (Loving John and Instamatic Karma) but now a new documentary film chronicles their time together on the big screen, supported by other witnesses and loads of photos, footage and writings. The Lost Weekend: A Love Story is coming to theaters, while an exhibit of May's photos has already hit the road across the US.    Here's where to track the latest on May's photo exhibit and the film: https://www.maypang.com/

“Look, Papa! Those trees are waving at God!” As we watched young birches bending in the wind before an oncoming storm, my grandson’s excited observation made me smile. It also made me ask myself, Do I have that kind of imaginative faith? Reflecting on the story of Moses and the burning bush, the poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote that “Earth’s crammed with heaven, / And every common bush afire with God; / But only he who sees, takes off his shoes.” God’s handiwork is evident all around us in the wonders of what He has made, and one day, when the earth is made new, we’ll see it unlike ever before. God tells us about this day when He proclaims through the prophet Isaiah, “You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands” (Isaiah 55:12). Singing mountains? Clapping trees? Why not? Paul noted that “the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God” (Romans 8:21). Jesus once spoke of stones crying out (Luke 19:40), and His words echo Isaiah’s prophecy about what lies ahead for those who come to Him for salvation. When we look to Him with faith that imagines what only God can do, we will see His wonders continue forever!

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for August 16, 2022 is: litany • LIT-uh-nee • noun Litany refers to a usually lengthy recitation or enumeration of something, such as a set of complaints, names, or questions. It can also be used to refer to a sizeable series or set, which may or may not be spoken aloud, as when a drug has "a litany of possible side effects." // Among the television critic's litany of complaints about the new series is the anachronistic costume design. See the entry > Examples: “As soon as Mahershala Ali, the previous year's supporting-actor winner for 'Green Book,' escorted her behind the curtain, [Laura] Dern made a straight line to the thank-you cam to rattle off a litany of names.” — Anthony Breznican, Vanity Fair, 23 Apr. 2021 Did you know? How do we love the word litany? Let us count the ways. We love its original 13th century meaning, still in use today, referring to a call-and-response prayer in which a series of lines are spoken alternately by a leader and a congregation. We love how litany has developed in the intervening centuries three figurative senses, and we love each of these as well: first, a sense meaning “repetitive chant”; next, the “lengthy recitation” sense owing to the repetitious—and sometimes interminable—nature of the original litany; and finally, an even broader sense referring to any sizeable series or set. Though litanies of this third sort tend to be unpleasant, we choose today to think of the loveliness found in the idea of “a litany of sonnets by Elizabeth Barrett Browning.”

As a devout and passionate religious observer, Victorian poet Christina Rossetti (1830-1894) lived a life that might seem, at first glance, as proper and tame. Even some of her greatest works, devotional poems and verses for children, strike us as just the kind of art a fine upstanding moralist might generate. But there was more to Christina Rossetti than that - and in fact, she produced some of the most passionate and idiosyncratic poems of her era. In this episode, Jacke takes a look at her long narrative poem Goblin Market (1859-1862), about two sisters seduced by the fruits being sold by a pack of river goblins, which is one of the most sensationally bizarre poems Jacke has ever read.

The nineteenth-century Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) is well known as the father of existentialism and one of the great Christian thinkers of all time. But it is in his relationship with Regine Olsen - his love for her, their brief engagement, and the horrible breakup, in which he left her for a life devoted to the pursuit of knowledge - where we see his true literary gifts. In this episode, Jacke looks at Kierkegaard's life and writing, with a special focus on the agonizing relationship with a young woman that perhaps brought out his truest self.

Ultimately, the marital relationship of Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes was filled with pain and ended in tragedy. At the outset, however, things were very different. Within months of their first meeting at Cambridge, they had fallen in love, gotten married, and started having children - all while writing poetry and supporting one another's art. What did they see in each other as people and as poets? How did they inspire and encourage one another? In this episode, Jacke talks to Plath's biographer Heather Clark, author of Red Comet: The Short Life and Blazing Art of Sylvia Plath, about the creative partnership of Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes.
