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.

Episode 71: Becoming: Still Enough to Listen with Cherisse Hixson Episode Description Welcome back, sweet friends! After a three-month summer sabbatical, I'm so excited to be back with you as we launch our new fall series on BECOMING. In this heartfelt episode, I'm sharing about a transformative weekend Solo Retreat that shifted everything for me - from learning to rest "between His shoulders" to discovering that it's actually NOT all up to me. If you've been feeling weary from the constant pace and pull of life, if you're longing to know Jesus more deeply, or if you're curious about what it means to slow down enough to actually hear His voice - this episode is for you. What We'll Explore Together: ✨ The beautiful gift of being completely unknown and accepted just as you are ✨ Why "silence" with Jesus is actually full of rich conversation ✨ How to create sacred containers for encountering God in the everyday ✨ Breaking free from the "if it is to be, it is up to me" mentality ✨ Learning to measure our days by the fruit of the Spirit instead of accomplishments ✨ What it means to rest securely in God's sufficiency Soul-Stirring Quotes Featured: Henri Nouwen on solitude as the place of conversion Dallas Willard on solitude as primary spiritual formation Eugene Peterson on finding our quiet center Ruth Haley Barton on silence making solitude possible Jim Branch on discovering we're not alone Scripture Anchors: Psalm 139:1-6 (You have searched me, Lord, and you know me) Deuteronomy 33:12 (Rest between His shoulders) Psalm 91:1 (Living under His shelter) Beautiful Bonus: I close our time together by reading Emily Dickinson's powerful poem "Hope" - the same words that anchored my soul during that sacred Friday morning. Connect & Continue the Journey Your soul needs this, friend. If this episode stirred something in your heart, I'd love for you to: ⭐ Leave a 5-star review - Your words help other weary souls find hope and rest in Jesus
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.

Jeremy Corbyn and Len McCluskey share a passionate belief in a fairer, more equal Britain, encapsulated in Labour's 2017 election slogan ‘For the many, not the few'. This slogan, inspired by Shelley's famous poem The Masque of Anarchy, points to something else the two men have in common: a lifelong enthusiasm for poetry. Their selected poems travel over centuries and continents, with poets ranging from William Blake to Emily Dickinson, and Stevie Smith to Linton Kwesi Johnson. Featuring guest selections from the likes of Rob Delaney, Julie Hesmondhalgh, Ken Loach, Maxine Peake, Michael Rosen, Alexei Sayle, and Gary Younge. Join Corbyn and McCluskey as they discuss the poems that continue to inspire them in their political careers.
In November 2012, we staged the first in a new series of My Life in Poetry events at the Scottish Poetry Library. My Life in Poetry invites guests to reflect upon their lives through the lens of their favourite poems. Award-winning novelist Candia McWilliam did the SPL the great honour of accepting its invitation to take part. For 30 minutes, she discusses-with enviable lucidity-her favourite poems, which includes verse by Shakespeare, George Herbert, Robert Browning and Emily Dickinson.
Have you ever been so passionate about a book that you needed to track down the author to their source? Antonio Michael Downing and Bridget Raymundo sit down to discuss literary pilgrimages. Antonio Michael recounts his journey to Dublin to walk in the shoes of James Joyce's Ulysses, and Bridget shares what it was like to visit the home of Emily Dickinson.Books discussed on this week's show include:Ulysses by James JoyceOne Sister have I in our house by Emily Dickinson
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.

I sometimes like to take Emily Dickinson's 19th century poetry and recast it inside music that takes on the 1960s psychedelic approach. If severed from the drug associations, this style opens up paths to use sounds in unconventional ways which I think mirrors Dickinson's startlingly novel use of language and observation. This poem is a short tale of a productive spider and its mundane domestic fate, a metaphor perhaps for our artistic potential and responses. The Parlando Project takes various words (mostly literary poetry) and combines them with original music in different styles. We've done nearly 850 such 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

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.
Leitura Bíblica Do Dia: APOCALIPSE 21:1-6 Plano De Leitura Anual: SALMOS 37–39; ATOS 26 Já fez seu devocional hoje? Aproveite e marque um amigo para fazer junto com você! Confira: A poetisa do século 19, Emily Dickinson, escreveu: “Eu meço cada luto que encontro / Com olhar minucioso e indagador / Questiono se pesa como o meu / Ou se é mais fácil”. O poema é uma reflexão comovente sobre como as pessoas carregam, de forma única, o que sofreram ao longo de sua vida. Emily conclui, hesitante, com o único consolo: o profundo conforto de ver no Calvário suas próprias feridas refletidas no Salvador: “Ainda fascinada por pressupor / Que algumas são como as minhas (tradução livre)”. As Escrituras descrevem Jesus, nosso Salvador, como um “Cordeiro que parecia ter sido sacrificado” (APOCALIPSE 5:6,12), Suas feridas ainda visíveis. Feridas conquistadas ao tomar sobre si o pecado e o desespero de Seu povo (1 PEDRO 2:24-25), para que eles pudessem ter uma nova vida e esperança. E o Apocalipse descreve um dia futuro em que o Salvador “enxugará dos olhos toda lágrima” de cada um de Seus filhos. Jesus não minimizará a dor deles, mas verá e se importará com a dor de cada pessoa, enquanto os convida para a verdadeira e saudável nova vida em Seu reino, onde “não haverá mais morte, nem tristeza, nem choro, nem dor” (21:4). Onde a água curativa fluirá, “darei de beber gratuitamente das fontes da água da vida” (v.6; ver também 22:2). Pelo fato de nosso Salvador ter carregado todas as nossas dores, encontramos descanso e cura em Seu reino. Por: MONICA LA ROSE

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Creativity - formerly Celebrate Poe. This is episode 400 - From Poe to AI, Part One - and I am especially excited at the new possibilities that this new direction allows. Let me explain:A few days ago, I wrote a short note to my podcast host, buzz sprout, not really knowing what to expect - I wrote - I do a podcast called Celebrate Poe that has had 398 episodes, in 100 countries and territories. For episode 400, I would like to announce that the name of the podcast is being changed to Celebrate Creativity - that would give me more room to deal with other writers and creative people of the 19th century, such as Frederick Douglass, Walt Whitman, and Emily Dickinson, as well as dealing with subjects as the use of AI and literary and historical research. My question is - can you change the name of an existing podcast - for example, from Celebrate Poe to Celebrate Creativity. BTW - if you can, at the beginning of each episode, I would say welcome to Celebrate Creativity (formerly Celebrate Poe). George BartleySecretly, I was very concerned that such a change in name would not be possible, because of all the connections that are involved in distributing a podcast but apparently buzzsprout or somebody else had already thought of that. And I was delighted to receive the following reply from my podcast host within a few minutes:Hey George!I'm happy to help you change your podcast name! That is really impressive to reach the 400 episode mark!!! I think that is a great idea to rebrand and open up new topics. When you release episode 400, you could change the name when that episode is released, and it will update on the directories!Start by going to Settings > Podcast Settings, then you can change your name in the Podcast Title field. Please let us know if you have any questions during the rebrand and please let us know when you publish #400 so we can celebrate with you!Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

Concetto Fusillo si trasferisce giovanissimo da Lentini a Lecco, dove si dedica a tempo pieno all'attività artistica, in particolare alla pittura, alla scultura e all'incisione. Sulle memorie dell'isola nativa, ricche di luce e di colore per quanto segnate da paesaggi e ambienti recanti le stimmate dolorose della storia e della guerra, ha via via innestato immagini di altri luoghi, in una stratificazione analogica che ricorda i palinsesti. Una modalità, questa, che è quindi proseguita in Piemonte, a Mombaldone, dove l'artista vive dall'inizio del nuovo millennio. Qui, a seguito di fruttuosi incontri con amici e studiosi di storia, ha dato vita all'«archivio-pittura», con una serie di cicli compositivi ispirati ad atti notarili ed altri documenti di varia provenienza. La lettura di poeti e scrittori come Gabriele d'Annunzio, Cesare Pavese, Charles Baudelaire, Emily Dickinson, e di favolisti come Esopo, Charles Perrault, Giancarlo Passeroni e Luigi Capuana ha quindi stimolato ulteriori ricerche e sperimentazioni confluite in eleganti plaquettes e in mostre tenutesi ad Acqui, Cavatore e Mombaldo.Giovanna RomanelliLaureata in Lettere classiche presso l'Università Cattolica di Milano, ha conseguito la specializzazione in critica letteraria e artistica e ha collaborato al progetto IRIDE presso la medesima università.

About this podcast: MONSTERS! They haunt our days and chill our dreaming nights, to paraphrase Emily Dickinson. There's not a population on earth that does not have its own unique monster stories to tell to frighten, but also to instruct on the nature of good and evil, right and wrong. But what happens when monsters get out of control, when the monstrous imagination starts to bleed over into the real world? What are the effects of monsters on real people's real lives? This podcast examines the histories and mysteries of some of our favorite monsters to unlock their secrets and expose their influence on our lives.

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.

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.

The Moon comes Full on Monday, then wanes through the Milky Way on the anniversary of the death of Emily Dickinson, a teller of the All-Embracing True Tales (as the ancients called poetry and myth).
'Todo empieza con la sangre' de Aixa De la Cruz (Alfaguara) ya está en los anaqueles de la Biblioteca de Antonio Martínez Asensio en Hoy por Hoy. Una gran historia de amor, que como todo, en la vida y en la muerte, arranca con la sangre y , en concreto, con un pacto de sangre ¿No venimos todos de ahí? Pues eso. Una novela además donde el tres es más equilibrado que el dos y la trieja menos tóxica que la pareja. Ahí lo dejamos, lean y disfruten. Aixa De la Cruz nos donó además otros dos libros para nuestras estanterías: 'Ancho mar de los sagarzos' de Jean Rhys (Debolsillo) y 'Poesía completa' de Emily Dickinson (Visor). Nuestro bibliotecario Antonio Martinez Asensio registró una trilogía de Monserrat Roig para disfrutar de las lecturas con el buen tiempo con las novelas: 'Ramona, adios' , 'Tiempo de cerezas' y 'La hora violeta'. Las tres editadas por Casonni. A la trilogía de Monserrat Roig , Martínez Asensio añadió 'Aguas de primavera' de Ivan Turguenev (Alba editorial) que será la novela que nos contará en su programa "Un libro una hora". En el capítulo de novedades el empleado Pepe Rubio nos trajo dos: 'La trasmigración' de Juan Jacinto Muñoz Rengel (ADN) y 'Radio Benjamin' de Walter Benjamin con ilustraciones de Judy Kauffmann (Libros del Zorro Rojo). Pascual Donate volvió a rescatar un libro abandonado entre armarios y cajoneras de la redacción de la Cadena SER, en este caso '100 oficios para el recuerdo: un viaje por la España rural en busca de la labores del pasado' de Eugenio Monesma (Lunwerg) . Y por último llegaron las donaciones de los oyentes de Hoy por Hoy:

We need Emily Dickinson's startling originality today more than ever. This is why I sat down with Sharon Cameron, one of the greatest commentators on Dickinson's poetry, to explore some of Dickinson's poems in an extra-long podcast. “It's astonishing that after forty years of reading Dickinson, I am still ‘awed beyond my errand' by how Dickinson's poems let us experience something viscerally, at the edge of comprehension,” Cameron remarks in this conversation that forgoes clichés and favors critical acumen. By closely considering a few poems, Cameron explains how Dickinson speaks from placeless places and from within experiences outside of language, how her poems create wonder, and how her poems link without merging the mundane, the erotic, and other incommensurate dimensions of life. Sharon Cameron's book include: Lyric Time: Dickinson and the Limits of Genre; Choosing Not Choosing: Dickinson's Fascicles; and, most recently, The Likeness of Things Unlike: A Poetics of Incommensurability (Chicago University Press, 2024), on Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, Willa Cather, and Wallace Stevens.

“Me and Karma vibe like that.” This week on AP Taylor Swift Podcast we dive deep into “Karma” from Midnights and its surprising literary connections. Continuing from last week's exploration of Emily Dickinson, we unravel how Taylor Swift plays with themes of fate, justice, and reincarnation in this song. We analyze the song's vivid metaphors, from keeping your side of the street clean to flexing like a goddamn acrobat—wait, but who's flexing? Plus, we debate whether Taylor herself becomes karma by the song's end and what that means for her storytelling.

“And I was catching my breath, barefoot in the wildest winter…” What happens when a 21st-century American poet meets a 19th-century one? In this Show & Tell episode, we explore the literary lineage between Taylor Swift and Emily Dickinson—two iconic writers whose work spans centuries but shares unmistakable DNA (literally—did you know they might be distant cousins?!). From slant rhymes and stylized punctuation to themes of isolation, longing, and hope, we unpack the poetic parallels between Dickinson's timeless verses and Taylor's lyrics. In true Show & Tell fashion, each of us brings a favorite Dickinson poem paired with a Swift song that touch on shared motifs such as separation, isolation, and hope. Tune in to find out which modern-day Taylor tracks sound like 19th-century poetry—and why we think Emily might vibe with Evermore.

If only because of its seeming incongruity with a brain “wider than the sky,” the central fact of Emily Dickinson's life has become her seclusion. As she wrote to Thomas Wentworth Higginson in 1869, “I do not cross my Father's ground to any House or town.” Like the relatively modest dimensions of her poems, this self-imposed constraint—of the property line within Amherst, Massachusetts, then the Dickinson home itself, then her bedroom—proved no barrier to a cosmic poetic imagination which “went out upon circumference,” and to which no subject, tone, or emotion was foreign. Erin & Wes discuss 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: numbers 340, 372, 320, and 477.

In "I Look In People's Windows", Taylor Swift continues the metaphorical exploration of "what if" that we've seen all throughout THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT. A song that explores the aftermath of a lost connection, Taylor uses the idea of looking in from the outside to show how she's deep in her own thoughts of what could've been. Lacey, Ana, Nick, and Amy break down the lyrics of the song, how it connects to others across her discography, the inspiration from Emily Dickinson, and so much more!
