They experienced technical difficulties with the screen sharing quality, but managed to play through significant portions of the demo including the tutorial labyrinth, cultist encounters, and puzzle-solving mechanics. Jose demonstrated the game's survival horror elements, crafting system, and challenging combat sequences, particularly noting the terrifying Chatterer Cenobite enemy and the game's explicit content. They discussed the game's graphics, atmosphere, and puzzles, with Jose praising the artwork and labyrinth design while noting the difficulty level on easy settings. The session revealed the game's focus on stealth mechanics, body horror elements, and the player's role as Sunny, who must navigate both Earth and Hell while dealing with cultists and Cenobites.   Game Demo Review Discussion Jose and Ryan discussed playing through a demo game, with Jose having completed about 40 minutes of play on the easy difficulty setting. They reviewed the game's graphics and content, including a home invasion scenario involving cultists and a puzzle box. Jose noted the high quality of the artwork and design elements in the game, particularly the apartment setting with details like a boombox and drug addiction information. Labyrinth Horror Game Discussion Jose and Ryan discussed playing a game set in a labyrinthine environment with horror elements, comparing it to Resident Evil and Portal. They explored the game's tutorial section, noting its atmospheric lighting and challenging navigation. Jose encountered various obstacles and creatures while trying to find a way through the labyrinth, with both players commenting on the game's scary and gross elements. Hellraiser Video Game Discussion Ryan and Jose discussed playing a Hellraiser video game, focusing on its architecture, puzzles, and gameplay elements. They explored features like using fire from glowing objects and moving rocks to solve puzzles, while noting the presence of Doug Bradley's voice and Christopher Young's music. The conversation included observations about the game's visual elements and cutscenes, with Jose taking screenshots of the gameplay. Cult Game Demo Discussion Jose and Ryan discussed a game demo involving a character named Marlowe who was kidnapped and taken to a cult location. The game features interactive elements where players must break binds using the F button, and includes a crafting system where players can collect items to make bandages and coins. The discussion revealed that the game's box loads on suffering, and players will encounter various cultists and interactive challenges throughout the gameplay. Scarlet Church Game Demo Exploration Jose and Ryan discussed exploring a game demo set in the Scarlet Church, where they discovered they needed to interact with rotting corpses to find puzzle pieces. They identified that progress in the demo would not transfer to the full game, as it was separate from the actual game experience. Throughout their exploration, they found various items including paint, blemished diamonds, and a palette, while uncovering more of the game's narrative elements. Cultist Navigation and Discovery Mission Jose and Ryan discussed navigating a compound while encountering cultists and dealing with a body. Jose successfully opened a locked container using lockpicking skills similar to Skyrim. They encountered enemies who shot Jose, though he was able to continue the mission. The pair discovered an elevator and a bloody tunnel, eventually finding their way to an alley where they observed discarded bodies in dumpsters. Cenobites Labyrinth Game Discovery Jose and Ryan played a video game involving a labyrinth and cultists called Cenobites. They discovered an office belonging to a character named Bruno, who appeared to be involved in some kind of cult activity. The players found and used a "tongue key" to unlock a door, and encountered various disturbing elements in the game, including preserved bodies and torture scenes.   Game Progress and Production Discussion Jose and Ryan discussed playing a game that involves finding items and keycards to progress through levels, with Jose navigating through different areas and encountering unsettling sounds and visuals. Jose struggled to locate a keycard needed to advance, but eventually found it after some trial and error. They noted that the game's dark themes and unsettling elements make it challenging to play, and Ryan suggested that backtracking and repeated deaths could be edited out during post-production. Puzzle Game Demon Avoidance Challenge Jose and Ryan discussed playing a game involving puzzles and avoiding demons, with Jose sharing his screen and navigating through gameplay. Jose encountered challenges with the game's mechanics, including difficulty in escaping from demons like Chatterer, and experienced technical issues due to Zoom lag. Despite these obstacles, Jose expressed determination to continue playing and complete the game. Video Game Mechanics Discussion Jose and Ryan discussed a video game they were playing, focusing on combat mechanics and character interactions. Jose demonstrated how to defeat enemies and navigate the game world, while Ryan asked questions about gameplay elements like hit points and enemy status. The conversation included audio from Jose's screen-sharing, with discussions about game mechanics and story elements, including references to Emily Dickinson's poems and Cenobites. Hellraiser Game Demo Discussion Jose and Ryan played a demo of the upcoming horror game Hellraiser, which features survival horror elements including puzzles and sneaking past enemies. They discussed the game's difficulty, particularly the combat and stealth mechanics, and noted the impressive graphics and maze-like environments. Ryan mentioned they would reschedule the Book Club of Blood discussion on Revelations for the following week due to David's illness, and Jose agreed to share his game recording with Ryan for editing into a podcast episode.

Maurizio Fantoni Minnella"Che cos'è una biblioteca?"Ogni biblioteca nasce da un desiderio impossibile: tenere insieme tutto ciò che è stato scritto, sottrarlo al tempo, renderlo di nuovo leggibile. Proprio per questo la sua storia è anche una storia di fragilità: i libri bruciano, si sbriciolano, vengono dimenticati, censurati, dispersi. Il percorso che segue attraversa sei luoghi, reali e immaginari, in cui la biblioteca si mostra per ciò che è davvero. Non è un deposito, ma un organismo vivo che chiede custodi.I. AlessandriaIl mito fondativo. Una città che voleva possedere il sapere del mondo e che, proprio per questo, ha consegnato alla memoria collettiva la sua perdita. Da allora ogni biblioteca porta in sé il ricordo di un incendio.II. BabeleBorges immagina una biblioteca infinita che contiene tutti i libri possibili, e in cui proprio per questo nessuno riesce a trovare quello che cerca. Altrove confessa di essersi sempre figurato il Paradiso come una specie di biblioteca. È lo sguardo da cui parte Fantoni Minnella: il suo documentario "Libri di sabbia" (2019) prende il titolo da un racconto borgesiano.III. Il desertoNell'Adrar mauritano, a Chinguetti, Ouadane, Tichitt e Oualata, ci sono antiche città carovaniere oggi patrimonio Unesco. Lì manoscritti medievali e libri a stampa arrivati dal Cairo e dalla Mecca sono custoditi da secoli nelle biblioteche private delle famiglie, tramandati di padre in figlio. Sabbia, termiti e desertificazione li minacciano. Il film di Fantoni Minnella nasce da un gesto di ascolto, «Mi sono messo in ascolto del deserto», e dal timore che finiscano come Timbuctù.IV. Il rogoIl 10 maggio 1933 a Berlino e nelle città tedesche si bruciano i libri in piazza. Ogni anno l'Associazione italiana biblioteche ricorda quella notte con la rassegna "Libri salvati", letture pubbliche contro la cancellazione della memoria. Salvare un libro è un atto politico. Lo sapeva Victor Hugo, che nel 1872 dedica un poema alla biblioteca incendiata durante la Comune.V. La biblioteca di casaSono scaffali costruiti in una vita, disordinati, stratificati. La biblioteca privata è un autoritratto involontario, un diario scritto con i libri degli altri. Chi la guardasse senza conoscerci capirebbe molto di noi: dei viaggi, degli amori, delle ossessioni.VI. La sogliaInfine la biblioteca pubblica, luogo di accesso e di democrazia: l'unico spazio in cui chiunque può entrare, sedersi e leggere senza dover comprare nulla. Da qui torna la domanda di fondo del percorso: chi custodisce oggi i libri, e per chi?— Tu viens d'incendier la Bibliothèque ?— Oui.J'ai mis le feu là.— Mais c'est un crime inouï !«Hai appena incendiato la Biblioteca?» «Sì. Ci ho appiccato il fuoco.» «Ma è un crimine inaudito!» Il poema si chiude con la risposta dell'incendiario, che rovescia l'accusa: «Non so leggere».(Victor Hugo, "À qui la faute ?", da "L'Année terrible", 1872)There is no Frigate like a BookTo take us Lands away«Non c'è vascello come un libro per portarci in terre lontane.»(Emily Dickinson, 1873 circa, pubblicata postuma nel 1894)Maurizio Fantoni Minnella (Varese, 1959) è scrittore, saggista, critico cinematografico, documentarista e fotografo.

Il vient d'Amérique latine. Ça veut tout dire et ça ne veut rien dire. Ça veut peut-être dire que dans la vie de Juan Gabriel Vásquez, l'urgence littéraire s'est forgée proportionnellement à la violence d'état qu'il a vécue adolescent. Mais ça ne veut rien dire, car l'auteur toque régulièrement aux portes de l'ailleurs. Né en Colombie (qui doit son nom à Christophe Colomb) ce découvreur de mondes, fils d'avocats anglophiles, est pétri de cultures plurielles qu'il traverse comme les siècles. Avec la même aisance. France, Belgique, Espagne, Joseph Conrad, Gustave Flaubert, Emily Dickinson : autant de terres et de continents qu'il arpente et habite avec un amour majuscule de la littérature. L'auteur de La traduction du monde passé par le journalisme, primé de nombreuses fois, est un adorateur de ces vies que l'on peut pétrir jusqu'à en faire… un roman. C'est le cas de son dernier opus qui paraît au Seuil, intitulé Les noms de Feliza, du nom de cette sculptrice colombienne Feliza Bursztyn qui, sans la plume de Vásquez, aurait pu finir aux oubliettes… Roman en lice pour le prix Femina étranger 2026.   Programmation de l'invité :  • José Alfredo Jiménez, version María Dolores Pradera Las ciudades, ranchera • Enrique Santos Discépolo, version Joan Manuel Serrat Cambalache.

Here's a sensuous poem for the season written by Sara Teasdale. In it she gets as close in as Emily Dickinson might while listening to the more subtle nature's chorus of Autumn. The Parlando Project takes various words (mostly literary poetry) and combines them with original music in differing styles. We've done over 900 of these combinations, and you can hear any of them and read about our encounters with the words at our blog and archives located at frankhudson.org    

Laura Nyro’s most famous compositions — “Stoned Soul Picnic,” “Stoney End,” “When I Die,” “Wedding Bell Blues,” “Eli’s Coming” — are jewels of mainstream music, and her covers of songs like “Jimmy Mack” and “Gonna Take a Miracle” are legendary. But she was uncomfortable under the spotlight and withdrew from it to become the Belle of Danbury, Connecticut. This hour: a night of singing, reflecting, and celebrating recorded in front of a live audience at Watkinson School in Hartford.

Acclaimed songwriter and poet Amy Speace joins Jamie on Jrodconcerts: The Podcast for an intimate conversation on creative reinvention, the endurance of the touring artist, and the craft of storytelling across mediums. Before establishing herself as a staple of contemporary folk and Americana, Speace spent years living in a van touring classical Shakespeare with a New York theater company. In her late twenties, an empty apartment, a bad breakup, and a cheap garage-sale guitar set off a complete artistic rebirth. Amy reflects on pounding the pavement in Greenwich Village during the 2000s, the life-altering moment she was discovered and mentored by the iconic Judy Collins, and why having just one person champion your work changes everything. Now entering a rich new chapter with her debut poetry collection, The Cardinals (Red Hen Press), and its companion single “Days of Letting Go,” Amy breaks down the structural differences between verse and song. She shares how her grandmother introduced her to Robert Frost and Emily Dickinson, why modern East Nashville streetscapes demand honest observation, the raw vulnerability behind writing about fertility and genetics in poems like "Egg Donor #2346," and how she balances intimate literary readings with full acoustic arrangements on stage. The episode concludes with a performance of "There Used to Be Horses Here." Episode Highlights: Transitioning from classical stage actor to self-taught songwriter The 2000s New York demo hustle and the Greenwich Village folk circuit The mentorship of Judy Collins and creative fearlessness Literary lineages: Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson, and grandmother Rosalie Capturing East Nashville in poetry vs. the confines of a three-minute folk song Truth, genetics, and motherhood in lyric verse Bridging indie bookstores and legendary listening rooms on tour Acoustic performance: "There Used to Be Horses Here" Connect with Amy Speace: Website: amyspeace.com Debut Poetry Collection: The Cardinals (Available via Red Hen Press) Music & Tour Dates: amyspeace.com/tour Connect with Jrodconcerts: Website: jrodconcertsmedia.com Instagram: @jrodconcertsmedia Support & Subscribe: Rate and review Jrodconcerts: The Podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Federico Falco conversa sobre la mudanza, la naturaleza y las rutinas que hacen posible escribir, incluso cuando el texto no avanza. Explica qué significa entrar en “estado de escritura”: reservar tiempo, resistir distracciones y aceptar la espera, la duda y el ensayo como parte del proceso. También reconstruye su infancia entre el pueblo y el campo, su vínculo con los ríos de montaña y la distancia respetuosa que siente frente al mar, paisajes que moldearon su sensibilidad.

Defender un horario específico para escribir permite proteger la creatividad frente a los estímulos, aunque algunos días ese tiempo se convierta simplemente en espera. El estado de escritura incluye tolerar la duda, la ansiedad y el ensayo sin resultados inmediatos, manteniendo la disponibilidad hasta que las palabras comiencen a fluir.

Walt Whitman kallas USA:s nationalpoet, men fortsätter att provocera. Göran Sommardal reflekterar över Whitmans poesi och över varför han älskade sina medmänniskor mest när de sover. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Först sänd 2019-05-30.[Louis Armstrong: Nobody knows the trouble I've seen]Man borde inte börja en OBS-essä med sång och musik. Men skälet till att jag inte kan låta bli musik­en och sången är att mötet med de dikter som Walt Whitman har kallat Leaves of Grass, eller det urval som Gunnar Harding har kallat Jag hör Ame­ri­ka sjunga, får mig att höra, om jag skulle höra Amerika sjunga, inte alla de sånger som Walt Whitman radar upp redan i den inledande dikten – utan allra först det här.[Mahalia Jackson: Let my people go]Så här låter Whitmans sång:Jag hör Amerika sjunga, en mångfald av sånger hör jag/mekanikernas sånger, var och en sjunger sin muntert och/ starkt som sig bör,snickaren sjunger sin medan han mäter sin planka eller bjälke,[...]moderns underbara sång, eller den unga hustruns vid sina/ sysslor, eller flickans där hon syr eller tvättar,/var och en sjunger om vad som hör till honom eller henne/ och ingen annan,/dagen om vad som tillhör dagen – om natten en samling/ unga grabbar, robusta, vänliga/och de sjunger för full hals sina starka, melodiska sånger....I stället för att låta de ohörda kollektivens och de förvisade folkliga gemenskap­ernas sånger runga i sin dikt avlyssnar Whitman, alltså, de enskilda amerikanernas ton­arter och sångstilar. Och jag vet att denna invändning mot Walt Whitmans allomfattande och alltomfattande individualism kan förefalla historiskt orättvis. Han var ju emot slaveriet, om än tidvis en något vacklande abolitionist. Han uppmärk­sammade de amerikanska ursprungsinvån­ar­na, han såg till både män och kvinnor – alla den nya kontinentens själar ägde sam­ma hemortsrätt på Den stora landsvägen, som får sägas vara poetens favorittillhåll i dikten. Och riktningen i hans litterära politik var alltid demokratins. I sin essä om Whitman i sina Studier i klassisk amerikansk litteratur kallar D.H. Lawrence honom "den första vite infödingen".Om Dickinson lock­ar med sin gåtfulla precision och sin precisa gåtfullhet, så har Whitman förfört sina stora läsarskaror med sin generösa omåttlighet och välgör­ande brist på poetiska hyfsning.Det kan vara upplysande att jämföra Walt Whitmans poesi och plats i den ameri­kans­ka litteraturhistorien med den tolv år äldre Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, som vid tiden för Whitmans debut 1855 var den dittills överlägset mest kän­de ame­ri­kanske poeten, hyllad på båda sidor av Atlanten. Och på sin tid flitigt utgiven och översatt, också till svenska, och beundrad av europeiska stor­het­er som Dickens och Baudelaire. Longfellows hexameterepos Evangeline skildrar en romantisk-tragisk historia baserad på en historia om brittisk etnisk rens­ning av franska ättlingar i Nova Scotia. Hans mytologiska The Song of Hiawatha är en hyllning till "den ädle vilden" och hans valhänta och aldrig riktigt realistiska skildringar av slaveriet i Poems on slavery är helt i linje med hans starka enga­gemang för abolitionismen. Men trots att Longfellow på många vis intog en mer progressiv och klargörande ställning i frågor om slaveri och fördrivning och exploatering av Amerikas urinnevånare, så har tidens gång förvandlat hans euro­- peiskt de­signade humanism i kombination med hans akade­mis­ka välmenande vers till obligatorisk kurslitteratur, medan Walt Whitmans fria och orim­made verser, fräcka och förföriska, ofta skabrösa och frispråkiga, med kärlek så­väl mellan män och kvinnor som mellan män och män – den har blivit, och förblivit, också den obligatorisk kurslitteratur men i ett avgörande tillägg ett källsprång för läsare och efterföljare. "Whitman, den ende man som gått fram på helt oba­na­de stigar", så skriver D.H. Lawrence vidare om Whitman i sin essä. Och för vår europeiska räkning kunde han ha tillagt: US-amerikanska stigar. Och så är det. Walt Whitman, jämsides med Emily Dickinson, har kommit att utgöra den amerikanska poesins ojämförliga moderna källflöde. Om Dickinson lock­ar med sin gåtfulla precision och sin precisa gåtfullhet, så har Whitman förfört sina stora läsarskaror med sin generösa omåttlighet och välgör­ande brist på poetiska hyfsning. Och många, inte bara amerikanska, poeter har följt i hans fotspår.I denna generositet ingår en idé om mänsklig förbrödring, ty så får man ända karaktärisera ingivelsen hos en poet som gärna inledde sina dikter med ett Allons!, alltså det "Allons enfants...", som inleder Marseljäsen, den franska revolutionssång­en som mer än någon annan kommit att musikaliskt förkroppsliga Frihet, jämlikhet, broderskap.Jag föreställer mig gärna att hållbarheten och livaktigheten i arvet efter Whit­man till stor del också har göra med att han i någon mening förblivit kontro­versiell och aldrig riktigt enkelt kanoniserbar. Hade det bara varit för hans proklamerade världsmedborgarsolidaritet som Bror Hjort tolkade den i sin målning "Kärleken, freden, arbetet", med Whitman själv, "Jesus den härlige" och Sokrates, därtill bröder och systrar, svarta, röda, gula och vita tillsammans i fröjd och gamman, då hade hans verser kunnat pryda vilken som helst sön­dags­skola. Som det står i inledning till dikt 8 av sviten "De sovande":asiaten och afrikanen hand i hand, europén och amerikanen hand i hand/lärd och olärd hand i hand, och man och kvinna hand i handMen i botten av denna inlevelsefulla själarnas gemenskap som Whitman målar upp åter­finner vi, alltid, det Lawrence i sin Whitman-betraktelse hänvisar till som hans "obän­diga livskraft", och han citerar:Jag är den som anfäktas av köttslig lusta/Graviterar inte jorden, dras inte all materia till all annan, åtrår den?/Så dras min kropp till allt och alla som jag möter eller ser.Det är i diktsviten Children of Adam som Whitman mest oförblommerat och envetet ger uttryck för kropparnas sinnliga möten. Och i Calamus tillkommer det för tiden ännu mer "chockerande": homoerotik. Whitman bjöd på en frisprå­kighet som på sin tid något lättare fann fristad i Europa än i det ännu bigotta USA. Hos Whitman hålls ingen "Själarnas maskerad" som hos Pär Lagerkvist, sna­rare en kroppar­nas maskerad. Hos Whitman har Terentius urhumanistiska ”Intet mänskligt är mig främmande” transformerats till ”Allt kroppsligt är mig kärt”:stammaren, sjuklingen, den välbyggde, den anspråkslöse,/den kriminelle som stod inför skranket, domaren som satt och dömde honom,/de vältaliga advokaterna, juryn, åskådarna,/skrattaren och gråtaren, dansaren, änkan vid midnatt, den röda squawen,/den lungsiktige, den rosfeberdrabbade, idioten, han som förorättats,/ motsatserna, och var och en mellan det här och dem i mörkret,/jag svär att de är utjämnade nu – ingen förmer än den andra,/natten och sömnen har gjort dem jämlika och återupprättat dem.Individer, alla lika mycket mänskligt värda, men bara tillgängliga och insläppta En och En."Hans dikter", här citerar jag på nytt D.H. Lawrence, "Demokrati, En masse, Allenheten, är långa additions- och multiplikationstabeller, där slutsiffran alltid blir JAG SJÄLV."Sannolikt är det i denna allomfattande men enkelriktade individualism som Walt Whitman blir bäst definierad. Individer, alla lika mycket mänskligt värda, men bara tillgängliga och insläppta En och En. Inga klasser, inga kulturskillnader- och gemenskaper, inga fackföreningar, och inget behov av fackföreningar, ingen UNION. Därför älskar Whitman sina människor mest när de sover:De sovande är mycket vackra då de ligger avklädda,/de flyger hand i hand fram över hela jorden från öster till väster då de ligger/avkläddaHär skymtar Whitmans utopi, lika lockande än idag, och för alltid lika skrämmande. Vår tids ideologiska städmani: att göra rent hus: Ur vägen allt för själarnas framåtskridande, all religion, alla fasta föremål, konstarter, regeringar – allt det som var eller är synligt på detta klot eller något annat klot faller i nischer och vrår inför själarnas procession längs universums väldiga vägar.Göran SommardalLitteraturWalt Whitman: Jag hör Amerika sjunga, övers.

Eli Talen invites us to examine our endless pursuit of perfection and the exhausting habit of waiting until everything is organized before we allow ourselves to start living. We can easily get caught wishing for ideal conditions—whether waiting for smooth traffic, perfect relationships, or orderly cupboards—rather than meeting the messy reality of the present moment. Recalling a phrase from Emily Dickinson, that we "believe and disbelieve a hundred times an hour," Eli explains that this constant back-and-forth doesn't mean we are failing; rather, it keeps our minds flexible and serves as a living, nimble form of faith in an unpredictable world.To help us step out of the trap of postponing our lives until things are flawless, Eli shares several practical insights for navigating uncertainty with greater heart:The Buddha's Earth-Touching Courage: Meeting uncertainty with the humble honesty of the Buddha facing Mara under the Bodhi tree, adopting the spirit of "I don't know how to do this thing called life, and I'm going to do it anyway".Shifting from Separation to Connection: Moving away from a tight, defensive mindset ("this happened to you") toward a shared, relational heart ("we're in this together"), much like Eli experienced while walking among the fire-scarred trees at Point Reyes.Relational Mindfulness: Bringing our attention inward when triggered by others—investigating what hurts in us rather than reacting—and gently acknowledging our underlying sadness or fear.Resting in the Breath: Using the simple process of breathing, as highlighted by teacher Ajahn Sucitto, to feel held and anchored whenever our minds feel chaotic.Practicing Wise Discernment: Remembering that mindfulness is not about forcing ourselves to endure harmful situations, but exercising discernment to make compassionate choices for ourselves.______________ Eli Talen has practiced insight meditation for a couple of decades and has taught meditation in prisons and free communities for the past ten. Mindfulness is for him an innate awakening to the present and a refuge from fear and self-centeredness. He is inspired to engage with others who are open to building faith in the here and now and are oriented toward an ethical care and intimacy with the world. He lives in Berkeley, California, works as a psychotherapist, plays the organ. In prior lives he also served as an attorney and professor of German literature. ______________  To support our efforts to share these talks with LGBTQIA audiences worldwide, please visit https://gaybuddhist.org/There you can:   Donate  Learn how to participate live  Find our schedule of upcoming speakers  Join our mailing list or discussion forum Enjoy over 900 recorded talks dating back to 1995CREDITSAudio Production: George HubbardProducer: Tom BrueinMusic/Logo/Artwork: Derek Lassiter

Emily Dickinson was a letter writer before she was a poet. And it was through letters that she shared prose reflections–alternately humorous, provocative, affectionate, and philosophical–with her extensive community. While her letters often contain poems, and some letters consist entirely of a single poem, they also constitute a rich genre all their own. Through her correspondence, Dickinson appears in her many facets as a reader, writer, and thinker; social commentator and comedian; friend, neighbor, sister, and daughter. The Letters of Emily Dickinson (Belknap Press, 2024) is the first collected edition of the poet's correspondence since 1958. It presents all 1,304 of her extant letters, along with the small number available from her correspondents. Almost 300 are previously uncollected, including letters published after 1958, letters more recently discovered in manuscript, and more than 200 “letter-poems” that Dickinson sent to correspondents without accompanying prose. This edition also redates much of her correspondence, relying on records of Amherst weather patterns, historical events, and details about flora and fauna to locate the letters more precisely in time. Finally, updated annotations place Dickinson's writing more firmly in relation to national and international events, as well as the rhythms of daily life in her hometown. What emerges is not the reclusive Dickinson of legend but a poet firmly embedded in the political and literary currents of her time. Dickinson's letters shed light on the soaring and capacious mind of a great American poet and her vast world of relationships. This edition presents her correspondence anew, in all its complexity and brilliance. Guest: Dr. Cristanne Miller is SUNY Distinguished Professor and Edward H. Butler Professor of Literature, and serves on the advisory board of the Emily Dickinson Archive. Her scholarship on Dickinson includes Emily Dickinson: A Poet's Grammar; Emily Dickinson's Poems: As She Preserved Them; and The Letters of Emily Dickinson, which she co-edited with Domhnall Mitchell. Host: Dr. Christina Gessler is an academic writing coach and editor. She is the creator, producer and host of the Academic Life podcast.

Send us Fan MailToday we have a very special spoiler free author interview episode for you with young adult Romantasy author Autumn Krause! Autumn is the author of four novels (so far): A Dress for the Wicked, Before the Devil Knows You're Here, Grave Flowers, and coming soon…her very timely and extremely important fourth novel The Gods Will Sing Our Song. Out everywhere (including Audible!) on September 1st, The Gods Will Sing Our Song is a magical and tragic story inspired by her own family's experiences in the World War 2 Japanese American Incarceration camps.We met the lovely and beautiful Autumn at Romantasycon LA where we had the privilege of interviewing her for the Gothica panel, chatting all things horror, dark fantasy, and gothic themes and just knew she was an instant bestie with a big message we can't wait to discuss with her, and share with you all today! This episode is here for us to get to know Autumn better and to find out what you'll be getting into when you pick up her new book The Gods Will Sing Our Song… which every single one of you needs to go pre-order immediately! We also talk in depth about what inspired her to write this book, and why conversations about the darkest parts of our history are still SO incredibly important to keep having. We'll also briefly discuss her previous releases so you guys know what to expect if you decide to deep dive into the backlog before we do OUR deep dive coverage of The Gods Will Sing Our Song, coming soon! Autumn Krause is a writer, young adult author, a gothic romantic at heart and loves spinning stories full of macabre magic. She was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, where her morbid imagination ran rampant—so much so that her parents became concerned and told her to stop writing stories where everyone dies at the end. Most often, she can be found in Orange County, California, wearing a black lace dress while spending time with her husband and three children. Other times, she can be found out with lanterns in the tradition of Emily Dickinson, searching for herself and stories.Recently an offering editor at auction described The Gods Will Sing Our Song as a book that changes the way we look at the world. They said that “Books like these have the power to break our hearts and remake them. They open our eyes to injustice and bring a sense of catharsis to those who've encountered its sharp edge. They shout to be seen and heard and remembered - just as we must remember those who came before us, whose joys and scars go on to guide our own life stories. In my opinion, The Gods Will Sing Our Song is exactly such a book.”Don't be shy, subscribe! New Podcasts every Tuesday!!

Paola Tonussi"Emily Dickinson. Gemma oscura"Edizioni Areswww.edizioniares.itEmily Dickinson (Amherst, 1830-1886) è una delle voci più radicali della modernità poetica, per l'originalità della sua riflessione su vita e morte, tempo e natura: la sua scrittura fu un'esperienza totalizzante ed eversiva, nel silenzio della Homestead, casa-prigione volontaria.La libertà della sua poesia si respira anche nei versi frammentati, nella punteggiatura innovativa e in un'intensa introspezione. Questo libro è più di un saggio biografico: è un viaggio intimo e poetico che attraversa le poesie e le lettere della Dickinson che ricordano «una torta fatta in casa, un utensile intagliato, una coperta fatta a mano». Come suggerisce l'autrice, dopo aver letto la poetessa americana non è più possibile tornare a una parola pacificata o trasparente: lettori e versi, infatti, si misurano sullo stesso piano per restituire la forza perturbante e il fascino oscuro della sua parola, una poesia che interroga e trasforma chi legge.Paola Tonussi è studiosa di letteratura inglese e americana dell'Ottocento e del Novecento e collabora a riviste italiane e anglosassoni, tra cui “Brontë Studies”. Ha scritto tra l'altro su Byron, Dickens, Virginia Woolf, Eliot, Brodskij e i Brontë. La sua biografia Emily Brontë (Salerno, 2019), è stata finalista al Premio Comisso 2020 per la sezione dedicata. Per Ares ha curato War Poets. Nelle trincee della Prima guerra mondiale (2022), Rupert Brooke: lo splendore delle ombre (2024), prima biografia italiana del poeta britannico, di cui ha curato anche le Poesie (InternoPoesia 2025, postfazione di Silvio Raffo), ed Emily Dickinson.

Mike Kelly delivered the 2026 NEH-SHARP Living American History in Primary Documents Lecture, "Indigenous Agency & Intervention in the Bibliographical Record," at the University of Virginia on 22 July, 2026. About the Talk: This talk draws from the past thirteen years that Mike Kelly has spent building the Native American Literature Collection in the Archives & Special Collections at Amherst College, as well as current work to incorporate Indigenous knowledge into library, archives, and museum practices. The history of the Indigenous people of North America engaging directly with printing technology extends from the first presses in seventeenth-century New England to the comics, games, and more produced by the Indigenous Imagination Workshop in the twenty-first century. Kelly will demonstrate how a deep knowledge of traditional bibliography coupled with an understanding of Indigenous history results in a rich and complex understanding of this aspect of book history. At the same time, there are many ways to incorporate Indigenous methodologies and perspectives into our curatorial practices, which Kelly and his colleagues have attempted to do at Amherst. About the Speaker: Mike Kelly has served as the Head of the Amherst College Archives & Special Collections since 2009; prior to that time he was Curator of Books at the Fales Library & Special Collections at New York University. He received his Master's in Library Science from the University of Texas at Austin where he spent two years as an intern at the Harry Ransom Center; he also holds an M.A. in English from the University of Virginia. In 2016, he was awarded the Reese Fellowship for American Bibliography and the History of the Book in the Americas by the Bibliographical Society of America for his work on the bibliography of Samson Occom, a member of the Mohegan tribe of Connecticut. He co-curated (with Carolyn Vega) the exhibition “I'm Nobody! Who Are You? The Life and Poetry of Emily Dickinson” at the Morgan Library & Museum in New York, which ran from January through May 2017.

Maitreyabandhu draws out the deeper meaning and finer detail of five different poems, each around the theme of death with the final poem focusing on spiritual rebirth. By discussing the background of the poems and poets, the intricacies of their structure, and bringing in a Buddhist interpretation of the themes raised in the poems, Maitreyabandhu shows us the importance and profundity of poetry and how it can help us to explore Dharmic themes more deeply. Here he discusses the poem "I heard a Fly buzz – when I died - by Emily Dickinson.

Bestselling fantasy authors Holly Black and Samantha Shannon on building believable magic systems, researching and constructing immersive worlds, and why the right book often only emerges once you've written the wrong one.   You'll learn Why the most convincing magic on the page often starts with something you once half-believed was real. How writing the wrong version of a book can be the only route to the right one. What the texture of a world quietly promises a reader before the plot even begins. Why putting a character through the worst is often the best thing you can do for a story. When the certainty that your draft is a disaster is just a normal part of the process. What early hype can do to a writer, and why other writers are the antidote. Where to draw the line between research that serves the book and a rabbit hole that doesn't. A method for plotting a long series when you know the destination but not the route. What happens when a character starts refusing what you try to make it do.

The Author Events Series presents James Martin, SJ | Work in Progress  In Conversation with Tamala Edwards Work in Progress, set in the Philly suburbs, is a snapshot of several years-first as a boy, then as a teenager, and finally as a young adult--of being thrown into a series of jobs for which Martin had zero training. He had never set foot in a restaurant kitchen before working as a busboy and dishwasher; never stepped onto a golf course before working as a caddy; and had never seen a factory floor before working as an assembly-line worker. He almost always felt uncomfortable, unsettled, and uneasy. But, like many of us, he needed the money. This coming-of-age story is set in the 1960s and 1970s, a lighthearted tale for readers who enjoy personal narratives, and it's unlike anything Father Martin has written before. As he puts it, "This is a spiritual memoir from a different angle ... told 'slant' as Emily Dickinson might say." Each chapter features photos of memories and milestones throughout Father Martin's young life. If you're an aficionado of snafus, you won't be disappointed. He's not the hero of these stories, more a hapless teenager who learns in each job, even the ones he loathes, something about the value of work, about what it means to be an adult, about people, and about life overall. Rev. James Martin, SJ, born in Philadelphia and raised in the suburbs, is a Jesuit priest, editor at large of America magazine, consultor to the Vatican's Dicastery for Communication, and author of the New York Times bestsellers Learning to Pray, Jesus: A Pilgrimage, and The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything. Father Martin is a frequent commentator in the national and international media, having appeared on all the major networks and outlets, like The Colbert Report, NPR's Fresh Air, The New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal. Tamala Edwards joined 6abc in January of 2005. She is the weekday co-anchor of Action News Mornings from 4 a.m to 7 a.m. and is a regular co-host of Inside Story, conducting probing interviews with newsmakers like Governor Tom Corbett, Senator Bob Casey, Mayor Michael Nutter and others, as well as moderating many election debates. Prior to joining 6abc, Tamala Edwards was the anchor of ABC's World News Now, and World News This Morning.

Benedetta Centovalli"Il cielo e la polvere"Visioni e universi di Flannery O'ConnorCon la collaborazione di Fernanda RossiniMimesis Edizioniwww.mimesisedizioni.itFlannery O'Connor (1925-1964) è la voce che ha fuso il gotico sudista con una teologia spietata, trasformando la violenza in un paradossale luogo di grazia. Nei suoi racconti e romanzi si muove un'umanità deformata e visionaria – profeti mancati, fanatici, anime alla deriva – che abita un mondo insieme sacro, degradato e feroce. In questo volume, alcuni tra i massimi studiosi italiani e internazionali (Luca Doninelli, Fernanda Rossini, Mark Bosco, Francesco Valenti, Bruce Gentry, Angela O'Donnell, Elisa Buzzi, Alessandro Matone), insieme a editori (Mario Andreose), editor (Marisa Caramella) e scrittori (Romana Petri, Sandra Petrignani, Andrea Fazioli, Giuseppe Zucco) rileggono l'opera di O'Connor illuminandone i nuclei tematici essenziali: fede, violenza, redenzione. Il primo ritratto critico a tutto campo in Italia di Flannery O'Connor e un invito alla lettura di una delle scrittrici più radicali del Novecento per comprendere meglio l'America di oggi e il nostro presente.Arricchiscono questa edizione due interviste alla scrittrice in prima traduzione italiana.Benedetta Centovalli ha lavorato con ruoli di responsabilità per quasi trent'anni in editoria. In ambito novecentesco si è occupata di Bilenchi, Bassani, Cancogni, Merini, Comisso, Romano, Campo, Lagorio, Sereni, Ortese, Morante e Corti.

"A letter is a joy of Earth — It is denied the Gods —," sez Emily Dickinson (#1672), and THE MAN WHO READ EVERYTHING: The Literary Letters of Harold Bloom (Yale University Press) proves it! Heather Cass White rejoins the show to talk about editing Harold Bloom's letters for the book, her history with him and what she learned about him over the course of the project, and how the letters revealed a less determined Bloom and how she empathized with the struggles he went through in his career. We get into the people whose correspondence she included — Alvin Feinman, Northrop Frye, AR Ammons, John Hollander, John Ashbery, James Merrill, Henri Cole, and Ursula K Le Guin — and all the writers and critics she wishes she could have included, the books and projects Bloom proposed but never completed (or started) over the years, the fun she had writing the footnotes, the one person Bloom was intimidated to meet, Bloom's role in the Canon Wars 30-40 years ago (and my practice of checking off books from The List at the end of The Western Canon), where he fell on Ashbery vs. Ammons, and whether marriage is the true subject of literature. We also discuss how her next book on the correspondence of Elizabeth Bishop and Marianne Moore is the opposite of this one, her go-to books to teach American fiction, why she dropped out of Knausgaard before the finish line, how students have & haven't changed over a quarter century of teaching, her late arrival to Surfjan Stevens' music, how I solved her long-standing question about a moment from Bloom's memorial, and a lot more.

In Dante's Inferno, the lustful are not burned. They are swept, a great relentless wind moves them endlessly, helplessly, no footing, no direction, just the next gust carrying them where it will. This week's episode is a weekend reflection; slower, more meditative, less about publishing and craft and more about the soul-work questions underneath. Lust in its oldest, broadest sense—unrestrained wanting. The fire the Greeks understood. The Cyclops's single eye. Odysseus making himself Nobody to escape the cave. Emily Dickinson's delight in being Nobody too. And the difference between failure (which you can face) and self-abandonment (which is harder). This is from a nonfiction book I'm working on. If the reflection register resonates, stay close—these weekend episodes will keep coming.The Difficulty is the podcast of Crossroads Publishing Group, a new IBPA-pledged hybrid press based in Chattanooga, TN.

Episode 2 of The Difficulty.The hardest thing about indie publishing isn't writing the book. It's giving up the fantasy that the book will market itself.In this one I get honest about the ego defenses we run as creators when it's time to put work into the marketplace — the survivorship bias of the "no marketing" success stories, the isolation that breeds false certainty, the asymmetric gap between making (which feels like magic) and marketing (which feels like math).Some of what comes up:— Howard Finster on his farm. Emily Dickinson and her response to Thomas Higginson. Fernando Pessoa's 200 heteronyms in a Lisbon trunk.— The German musician who poured everything into one album, got profoundly little response, and stopped.— My own Iris Blackwood cover that got 14 thumbs up and 38 thumbs down on NetGalley — and what to do with that.— "We haven't failed. We just haven't found our audience yet."The challenge at the end: pick one marketing lane, commit to it for 30–60 days, and report back.If the show is doing something for you, the easiest way to support it is to share this episode with one person you think it'd land for.

While we are on a break, enjoy this episode from Season 2. Season 3 starts May 19!Week 39 of Ted Gioia's Immersive Humanities Course takes on nineteenth-century American literature. To my surprise, this became one of the most enjoyable weeks so far. I went in dreading familiar names and old high-school resentments, but came out newly energized. Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (chapters 1–6) was funny, humane, and immediately engaging. Edgar Allan Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher and “The Raven” used ornate language to heighten unease, while Emily Dickinson's poems felt weightless and startlingly modern. Henry David Thoreau's Walden was quotable and provocative, if ultimately grating, and Herman Melville surprised me most of all: Bartleby, the Scrivener lingered with quiet power, and the opening of Moby-Dick left me eager for more. This week revealed a real shift in voice and sensibility—and changed my mind about American literature. I'm looking forward to going back and reading more, but first we need to move on to Week 40 and Russian Literature!LINKTed Gioia/The Honest Broker's 12-Month Immersive Humanities Course (paywalled!)

Emily Dickinson and Charles Darwin both saw nature as alive with mystery – and treated wonder as a way of knowing. Literary scholar and science historian Renee Bergland, author of "Natural Magic," is our guide to the forgotten kinship between the reclusive poet and the celebrated naturalist. Dickinson and Darwin never met, but they had at least one close friend in common. Both were both fascinated by fossils. Both wandered the woods and swamps near their homes, studying insects and documenting rare plants. They shared a vision of the interconnectedness of all life. We know that Dickinson, with her background in botany, geology, astronomy and chemistry, was enthralled by Darwin's evolutionary theory. And it certainly seems possible that Darwin, with his degree in theology and his lifelong love of poetry and literature, might have admired the American poet whose close observations and delicate perceptions echoed his own. Bergland's dual biography, just out in paper, is vivid, sparkling intellectual history – a window onto a time when scientific thinking still embraced emotion and wonder as modes of perception. Could the belief in “natural magic” that infused Dickinson's and Darwin's ideas restore our own faith in a universe alive with meaning? Our conversation about the poet who studied natural history and the naturalist who loved poetry suggests a way forward – by reclaiming their shared ecological wonder. — Now out in paperback: "Natural Magic: Emily Dickinson, Charles Darwin, and the Dawn of Modern Science" Previous books from Renee Bergland: "Maria Mitchell and the Sexing of Science: An Astronomer Among the American Romantics" and "The National Uncanny: Indian Ghosts and American Subjects"  —0:00 — Meeting Renee Bergland9:00 — What Is Natural Magic?20:00 — Beauty, Truth, and Evolution34:00 — Hope and the Garden of Change Wonder Cabinet is hosted by Anne Strainchamps and Steve Paulson.
