Podcasts about Emily Dickinson

Week 39 of Ted Gioia's Immersive Humanities Course takes on nineteenth-century American literature—and to my surprise, it 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!

There's a tradition among poets to write a poem to put inside the Christmas cards they send. So, the BBC World Service has commissioned one specially from the poet, dramatist and novelist, Michael Symmons Roberts whose Christian faith is important to his identity and work. But his art is not a direct expression of this, and instead he follows the poet Emily Dickinson's instruction to ‘Tell all the truth but tell it slant'.Michael has just become a grandfather, so feels keenly the happiness of the arrival of a cherished child, creating a parallel between his own life and the Christmas story of the birth of Jesus. For In the Studio Julian May follows Michael's creative process as he grapples huge spiritual and personal themes – distilling them to a length which can fit on a Christmas card: a daunting but joyful task.The programme begins with London's Oxford Street, where consumerism triggers preparations a full three months before Christmas - and ends with the sealing of the Christmas cards before they are popped into the post box.

Here a new-made song from the poetry of Emily Dickinson. The music is jaunty, and I think that fits the language of the poem as I read it, but best as I can determine this is a poem that fits into the genre my wife calls "Cozy Gothic." Gothic? What? There's sunsets, mornings, cottages in this little 8-line poem made into a tidy 2 minute song. Don't you mean Cottage-core?  Nope.  Listen to this poem, now song, again. I think the cottages are graves.  I'll write more about this at our blog and archives later this week. The Parlando Project takes various words (mostly literary poetry) and combines them with original music in differing styles. We've done over 850 of these combinaitons, and you can hear any of them and read about our encounters with the words at our blog and archives located at frankhudson.org  

Sie schreibt fast 1800 Gedichte, doch Ruhm will sie nicht – zumindest nicht zu Lebzeiten. Heute zählt Dickinson (geb. am 10.12.1830) zu den größten Lyrikerinnen der USA. Von Jana Fischer.

Möt Jenny Tunedal och UKON som besökte Kulturhuset den 5 november 2025 för att berätta om sin favoritförfattare och en av poesins mest älskade röster – Emily Dickinson. Jenny Tunedal är poet, översättare och förläggare, bosatt i Skärholmen. Hon har gett ut flera prisbelönta diktsamlingar, däribland "Rosor skador", som nominerades till Augustpriset, och "Dröm, baby, dröm". Tunedal har översatt verk av Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton och Claudia Rankine, och arbetar nu tillsammans med UKON med en serie översättningar av Emily Dickinsons poesi. Ulf Karl Olov Nilsson, känd som UKON, är poet, psykoanalytiker och essäist. Han är författare till böcker som "Glömskans bibliotek" och "Jag är ingen mördare", där han rör sig mellan litteratur, psykologi och filosofi. Tillsammans med Tunedal är han aktuell med en serie översättningar av Emily Dickinsons poesi. Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) är en av den amerikanska litteraturens mest centrala poeter. Under sin livstid publicerades bara ett fåtal av hennes över 1700 dikter, men i efterhand har hon blivit en ikon för sin kompromisslösa form, sitt existentiella djup och sina texter om livet, kärlek, ensamhet och döden. Hennes diktning talar till generationer av läsare och har haft ett enormt inflytande på samtida poesi. Hör Jenny Tunedal och UKON berätta om Emily Dickinson, relationen till hennes dikter och hur de fortsatt engagerar läsare i vår tid. Från 5 november 2025 Jingel: Lucas Brar

On this week's Queer Cinema Catchup, Joe and Allison are once again joined by the excellent Nick and Joseph of Fish Jelly to delve into another Tennessee Williams' adaptation. This time it's the 1964 film 'The Night of the Iguana' directed by John Huston and starring Richard Burton, Ava Gardner, Deborah Kerr, and Sue Lyon. Together explore the complex themes of desire, spirituality, and salvation and share their thoughts on the performances, particularly praising Ava Gardner and Deborah Kerr, while critiquing some of the casting choices. They also touch on the queer subtext, Tennessee Williams' broader oeuvre, and how the film compares to other adaptations of his works. Closing thoughts include reflections on what could be improved and the lasting impact of the film.00:14 Introducing the Movie: The Night of the Iguana00:45 Plot Summary and Key Characters02:13 Initial Reactions and Movie Context04:38 In-depth Analysis and Comparisons07:03 Character Dynamics and Performances11:26 Symbolism and Themes17:03 Production Insights and Behind the Scenes36:39 Maxine's Jealousy and Misunderstandings37:22 Hannah's True Motives38:05 Shannon's Realism and Hustling38:33 Philosophical Reflections40:16 Maxine's Confrontation with Miss Judith40:47 Miss Judith's Obsession with Charlotte46:19 Hannah's Love Experiences48:44 The Iguana and Symbolism52:00 Differences Between the Play and the Movie54:38 Queer Themes and Interpretations57:26 Tennessee Williams' Legacy01:11:49 Behind the Scenes Drama01:12:39 Dysentery and Filming Anecdotes01:13:49 Emily Dickinson's Poem and Its Interpretation01:15:13 Themes of Death and Connection01:16:33 Reception and Oscar Nominations01:21:41 Potential for Remakes and Character Analysis01:29:39 Final Thoughts and Ratings01:32:08 Upcoming Reviews and Recommendations Hosted on Acast.

Did you know that Emily Dickinson wrote 4 tributes to the dandelion? Join Food Sleuth Radio host and Registered Dietitian, Melinda Hemmelgarn for her conversation with John Cardina, PhD, Professor Emeritus in the Dept. of Horticulture and Crop Science at the Ohio State University, former USDA research agronomist and author of Lives of Weeds: Opportunism, Resistance, Folly. Cardina discusses man's largely futile fight against “weeds” on farms, lawns and gardens, the value of biodiversity and small holder farms, and why we should rethink our attempts to eradicate “invasives.” Related Websites: https://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9781501758980/lives-of-weeds/

Dust of Snow by Robert Frost was a terrific poem to perform for students in grades K-3, alongside other short poems like I'm Nobody by Emily Dickinson. Both poems work well for children; that said, both have serious adult themes, such as identity and loneliness, which thread through many lives today.

Welcome to provocative conversations from Twice 5 Miles Radio. I'm your host, James Navé. Today I'm going solo. In this hour-long wandering through memory, poetry, and place, I invite you into a journey that begins in Manila—fifteen million people, dense layers, and a heat that never quits—and circles outward into the deeper weather patterns of a poetic life. From Robert Frost's Dust of Snow to John Keats' On the Grasshopper and the Cricket, we explore how the natural world awakens our inherent poetic disposition, whether we realize it or not. I take you back to my early days, hitchhiking across America, discovering the cold, haunted power of the Pacific Ocean, and then finding my younger self mirrored in Robert Frost's "Once by the Pacific." I talk about what it was like to co-found Poetry Alive in the 1980s—performing poems in gymnasiums, bringing playfulness to classrooms, and teaching thousands of students that the little things matter just as much as the big ones. We dip into thought-beats, memorization, and why Emily Dickinson's "I'm Nobody! Who are you?" works for five-year-olds and grown-ups alike. And we venture into heavier terrain with Sharon Olds' The Food Thief, asking what poetry demands of us in a serious, complicated world. I also read new work generated during Imaginative Storm writing sessions—pieces like Rip Curled Edge and Ivory in the Night Sky—and reflect on time passing, aging, and the themes that keep returning. Enjoy this hour of poetry, memory, travel, performance, and the ever-present possibility that something is going to happen.

Today's poem is a little more (purposefully) enigmatic than most of Dickinson's verse. Happy reading. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

This week, Thom Francis introduces us to poet Nancy Byrne Iannucci. Nancy was one of the featured readers at the Eight Poets event at The Fish Market on Saturday, October 11, 2025.

In the second half of our series with Gregory Orr, the conversation turns to grief, tenderness, and the healing power of the lyric. We talk about Emily Dickinson's role and the role of the lyric in contemporary poetry. If part one asks what the lyric is, part two asks what it's for—and how it helps us endure what can't be said any other way.At the Table:Gregory OrrKatie DozierTimothy GreenDick WestheimerBrian O'SullivanJoe Barca

Clinical psychologist Alexis Abernethy explores burnout, Sabbath rest, and resilience—reframing rest as spiritual practice for individuals and communities.“For me, it's knowing that the Lord has made me as much to work as much to be and to be still and know that he is God.”On this episode, clinical psychologist Alexis Abernethy (Fuller Seminary) joins Macie Bridge to discuss burnout, Sabbath, worship, mental health, and resilience in the life of the church. Defining burnout through its dimensions of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced sense of accomplishment, Abernethy reflects on how church life can intensify these dynamics even as it seeks to heal them. Drawing from scripture, theology, psychology, and her own experience in the Black church and academic worlds, she reorients us to Sabbath as more than self-care: a sacred practice of being still before God. Sabbath, she argues, is not a quick fix but a preventive rhythm that sustains resilience in leaders and congregations alike. Along the way, she points to the necessity of modeling rest, the impact of daily and weekly spiritual rhythms, and the communal posture that makes Sabbath transformative.Episode Highlights“For me, it's knowing that the Lord has made me as much to work as much to be and to be still and know that he is God.”“Often people have overextended themselves in face of crises, other circumstances over a period of time, and it's just not really sustainable, frankly, for anyone.”“We act as if working hard and excessively is dutiful and really what the Lord wants—but that's not what He wants.”“When you are still with the Lord, you look different when you're active.”“Sabbath rest allows you to literally catch your own breath, but also then be able to see what the congregation needs.”Helpful Links and ResourcesThat Their Work Will Be a Joy, Kurt Frederickson & Cameron LeeHoward Thurman, Meditations of the HeartEmily Dickinson, “Some Keep the Sabbath” (Poetry Foundation)About Alexis AbernethyAlexis Abernethy is a clinical psychologist and professor in the School of Psychology & Marriage and Family Therapy at Fuller Seminary.

Leitura Bíblica Do Dia: FILIPENSES 3:4-14 Plano De Leitura Anual: SALMOS 148–150; 1 CORÍNTIOS 15:29-58   Já fez seu devocional hoje? Aproveite e marque um amigo para fazer junto com você! Confira:  No poema de Emily Dickinson, ela desafia divertidamente o esforço das pessoas em querer ser “alguém”, defendendo a alegre liberdade do anonimato: “Não sou ninguém! Quem é você? / Que triste — ser— Alguém! / Que pública — a Fama — / Dizer seu nome — como a Rã — / Para as almas da Lama!…” (Ed. Unicamp, 2008). Encontrar liberdade ao renunciar ao desejo de ser “alguém” se assemelha ao testemunho do apóstolo Paulo. Antes de conhecer Jesus, Paulo tinha uma longa lista de credenciais religiosas, aparentes “razões para confiar na carne”. (FILIPENSES 3:4). No entanto, o seu encontro com Jesus mudou tudo. Quando Paulo reconheceu o quanto as suas realizações eram vazias à luz do amor sacrificial de Cristo, ele confessou: “as outras coisas são insignificantes comparadas ao ganho inestimável de conhecer a Cristo Jesus, meu Senhor […] as considero menos que lixo, a fim de poder ganhar a Cristo” (v.8). Sua única e remanescente ambição era “conhecer a Cristo […] o poder que o ressuscitou […] participando de sua morte […] para alcançar a ressurreição dos mortos!” (v.10). É triste, de fato tentarmos nos tornar “alguém” por conta própria. Mas, conhecer Jesus e nos envolvermos em Sua vida e amor sacrificial, significa nele sermos encontrados (v.9), finalmente livres e completos.  Por: MONICA LA ROSE 

Philosopher Thomas Nagel famously argued that it is impossible to know what it's like to be a bat. Dickinson, on the other hand, claims to know what caterpillars care (or don't care) about.

Welcome to The Guest House, a commonweal meditation on the complexities and creative potential of being human in an era of radical change. In Season Two, cohosts Shawn Parell and David Keplinger are exploring what Emily Dickinson called "Gem Tactics," the practices by which we polish our creative engagement with life.These conversations and contemplative writings are offered freely, but subscriptions make our work possible. Bless us algorithmically by rating, reviewing, and sharing these episodes with friends—and please become a paid subscriber if you're able. Thank you!Poet David Keplinger joins The Guest House, and together we hold the doorway open to Gem Tactics—this season's title—a term borrowed from a lesser-known Dickinson poem that refers to those small, faceted moves of inner cultivation that reveal the shape of a life.In the first episode of our second season, we trace the filament between practice and mystery. Our talk initiates an exploration of how we live, why we listen, and what it means to accompany and be accompanied in a time when so much is unraveling. This is the scaffolding of what's to come: a season shaped less by expertise than by earnest inquiry, less by answers than by wholehearted questions.Episode Highlights:Introducing poet David Keplinger as this season's co-hostWe reflect on the shared sensibility that animates our every collaboration.Why Gem Tactics?We unpack the title phrase—borrowed from Dickinson—and explore how poetry, practice, and daily life offer luminous forms of inner cultivation.Translation as prayer; poetry as a mirrorDavid speaks to the devotional act of translating Rilke and how poetry can reveal, rather than conceal, our deeper motives and questions.Living the question: from mastery to mysteryWe examine what it means to surrender control in the pursuit of meaning and how the unknown can become a kind of wisdom.The medicine of showing upI share insights from my therapeutic work and personal practice on how to stay present without being undone by the intensity of the world.If you're longing for language that speaks to your inner life, the beauty and bewilderment of being in the world, this season is for you.

This morning we explore why the blessing after we eat is longer and more detailed than the blessing we make before we eat. Based on a principle of Rabbi S. R. Hirsch, we look at the context of the commandment to bless after we eat in our Parsha, Eikev, and see this truth reflected in the writing of Emily Dickinson, R. Baruch Epstein, and George Santayana. Michael Whitman is the senior rabbi of ADATH Congregation in Hampstead, Quebec, and an adjunct professor at McGill University Faculty of Law. ADATH is a modern orthodox synagogue community in suburban Montreal, providing Judaism for the next generation. We take great pleasure in welcoming everyone with a warm smile, while sharing inspiration through prayer, study, and friendship. Rabbi Whitman shares his thoughts and inspirations through online lectures and shiurim, which are available on: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5FLcsC6xz5TmkirT1qObkA Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adathmichael/ Podcast - Mining the Riches of the Parsha: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/mining-the-riches-of-the-parsha/id1479615142?fbclid=IwAR1c6YygRR6pvAKFvEmMGCcs0Y6hpmK8tXzPinbum8drqw2zLIo7c9SR-jc Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3hWYhCG5GR8zygw4ZNsSmO Please contact Rabbi Whitman (rabbi@adath.ca) with any questions or feedback, or to receive a daily email, "Study with Rabbi Whitman Today," with current and past insights for that day, video, and audio, all in one short email sent directly to your inbox.

Send us a textWelcome to celebrate Poe  episode 417 - Why Dickens Still Matters, Part OneThis first quote is from a George Gissing in 1898 - he famously said -I suppose that for at least five and 20 years of his life, there was not an English speaking household in the world where his name was not as familiar as that of any personal acquaintance, and where an illusion to characters of his creating could fail to be understood.And that creative person was none other than Charles Dickens. So I felt that a a brief look into Charles Dickens might be a good place to start in an examination of major 19th century writers.Therefore I gave the following prompt to Gemini:I am doing a podcast about using AI, as well as writers from the 19th century - such as Edgar Allan Poe, Walt Whitman, and Emily Dickinson. But one author that I have failed to include is Charles Dickens. Could you write me an introduction of why Charles Dickens is important, especially to the concept of creativity.Why Charles Dickens Still Matters (Especially for Creativity)Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Creativity - This is Episode 413 - AI for a Heat StrokeNow I know that up til now - I have basically been giving you fanciful examples of what might go into a prompt for some imaginary purposes - Edgar Poe applying for a job at a pet rental company or Edgar Poe 6th and Emily Dickinson 6th writing a book - that was DEFINITELY role playing with imaginary characters - I don't know of any reliable source that said Poe had any children - not so sure about Emily Dickinson, but I doubt it - guess I need to check with Gemini. Anyway, today I would like to deal with an all too real story that illustrates the use of a prompt in a real-life, health situation - no imaginary characters.I am accustomed to being outside - used to be a Marathon runner, but yesterday I was walking the distance from the local McDonald's. (about a half a mile) to my apartment. When I got home, I was covered with sweat and was having what appears to be a heat stroke. I was not experienced at all with this kind of thing, and my other half suggested that I simply ask my AI about the situation.  It might be a good idea before and if I go to a doctor to find out any immediate suggestions. Note the prompt that I gave Gemini. I admit that it is a bit wordy, but I wanted to give all the details because like any prompt the more information you give it, the better answer it can give you.  And I apologize, if the prompt seems a bit crude, but I wanted to show the importance of being honest with an AI if you expect an appropriate answer.  Besides this is a medical situation.So I started with:Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

In Serendipity (Reaktion) Carol Mavor uses Anne Frank's journal, discovered in the Secret Annex after the Second World War, Emily Dickinson's poems, scribbled on salvaged envelopes hidden in a drawer, Lolita, rescued from incineration by Nabokov's wife Véra and her own memory of eating a frozen hot chocolate in New York's Serendipity 3, a dessert café favoured by Andy Warhol, to muse upon the serendipitous afterlives of objects. Mavor, Professor of Art History and Visual Culture at the University of Manchester and prolific author of books and articles about art and culture, was in conversation about fragments, remnants and what remains with novelist, essayist and translator Lauren Elkin.

Johann Sebastian Bach and Emily Dickinson arrive to talk to us about music and words as transmission, not performance. They talk about the depth of meaning and purpose of your name. They also teach us that we each have a natural tone that we can sound and how this creates entaglement with each other and blossoms into something larger.

Today is the second part of my Latin American orchestral song tribute. Last week we explored Villa-Lobos and Revueltas; today we devote ourselves to Argentina, and primarily two composers: Alberto Ginastera, and Osvaldo Golijov, in settings by writers as varied as Emily Dickinson, Rosalía de Castro, Manuel Mujica Lainez, David Grossman, Mercedes de Toro, Alejandro Casona, and Franz Kafka; performed by Hina Spani, Phyllis Curtin, Dawn Upshaw, Nadine Sierra, Virginia Tola, Mónica Ferracani, and Miriam Khalil, among others, alongside three artists (Rayanne Dupuis, Christopher Dylan Herbert, and Ilana Davidson) who happen to be friends and colleagues of mine. The episode begins with memorial tributes to iconic writer Edmund White and beloved French singer Nicole Croisille, both of whom died this week. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing. By clicking on the following link (https://linktr.ee/CountermelodyPodcast) you can find the dedicated Countermelody website which contains additional content including artist photos and episode setlists.

Elizabeth Barrett (1806-1861) was one of the most prolific and accomplished poets of the Victorian age, an inspiration to Emily Dickinson, Oscar Wilde, Edgar Allan Poe, and countless others. And yet, her life was full of cloistered misery, as her father insisted that she should never marry. And then, the clouds lifted, and a letter arrived. It was from the poet Robert Browning (1812-1889), admiring her from afar, declaring his love. How did these two poets find each other? What kind of life did they share afterwards? And what dark secrets had led to her father's restrictions…and how might that have affected his daughter's poetry? Host Jacke Wilson takes a look at the story of the Brownings.

Poetry, butterflies, and original music oh my! With some help from poets Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, William Wordsworth, and John Keats, along with original music by composer Gabriel Ruiz-Bernal, Jacke tackles the topic of butterflies. Yes, yes, we all know that butterflies are symbols of beauty and transformation - but can great poets get beyond the clichés? Why did Keats imagine himself as a butterfly in his love letters? Did Robert Frost mansplain poetry to Emily Dickinson (and do we agree)? In this episode, we flit and float and fleetly flee and fly through literature, life, music, and poetry - like a butterfly, maybe? (Maybe so!)

The uniting, in today's poem, of Spring and sadness is not immediately intuitive. However, it makes more natural sense amidst the many partings and reminiscences of graduation season. Happy reading.

Erin & Wes continue their discussion of four of Dickinson's best-loved poems, whose little rooms contain some of the definitive poetic statements on grief, pain, violence, death, reason, identity, and encounters with the divine.
