Today I have the honor and the pleasure to speak once again with celebrated poet and physician, Fady Joudah. The last time Fady was on the podcast was in November, 2023, shortly after the outbreak of war in Gaza. At that point we spoke about the impossibility of, even then, quantifying the genocide. Today we focus on the politics of language—in particular, the distinction Fady Joudah makes between Palestine in English, and Palestine in Arabic. We speak too of the need for and limitations of solidarity, and finish with a reading and discussion of one of Fady Joudah's most remarkable and stunning poems, “Truth is Never Finished.” Fady Joudah is a Palestinian American physician, poet, and translator. He was born in Austin, Texas, and grew up in Libya and Saudi Arabia. He was educated at the University of Georgia, the Medical College of Georgia, and the University of Texas Health Sciences in Houston. In 2002 and 2005 he worked with Doctors Without Borders in Zambia and Sudan, respectively.Joudah's debut collection of poetry, The Earth in the Attic (2008), won the 2007 Yale Series of Younger Poets competition, chosen by Louise Glück. Joudah followed his second book of poetry, Alight (2013) with Textu (2014), a collection of poems written on a cell phone wherein each piece is exactly 160 characters long. His fourth collection is Footnotes in the Order of Disappearance (2018). In 2014, Joudah was a Guggenheim Fellow in poetry. As critic Charles Bainbridge observed in a 2008 Guardian review of The Earth in the Attic, “Joudah's poetry thrives on dramatic shifts in perspective, on continually challenging received notions.”Joudah translated several collections of Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish's work in The Butterfly's Burden (2006), which won the Banipal prize from the UK and was a finalist for the PEN Award for Poetry in Translation; and in If I Were Another, which won a PEN USA award in 2010. His translation of Ghassan Zaqtan's Like a Straw Bird It Follows Me (2012) won the Griffin International Poetry Prize in 2013. His other translations include Amjad Nasser's Petra: The Concealed Rose and A Map of Signs and Scents.Joudah lives with his family in Houston, where he works as a physician of internal medicine.

durée : 00:07:17 - L'Instant poésie - Ce poème de Louise Glück, entre le tragique et la fantaisie, nous raconte la mort. La douleur est scrutée grâce à une situation qui semble presque anecdotique et quotidienne. - invités : Wajdi Mouawad Auteur, metteur en scène, comédien et directeur du théâtre national de la Colline
Fady Joudah is an esteemed Palestinian Poet/Activist. And we had a great long conversation with him about poetry and resistance, conditions in Gaza, the difficulty of describing the Palestinian struggle in English, the failure of the west to defend Gaza, and much more. And we finished with Fady reading and deconstructing some of his poetry for us. Bio// Fady Joudah is a Palestinian American physician, poet, and translator.

A note about the work “on hunger” from Diya Abbas for the Michigan Quarterly Review's Winter 2025 Issue: Chiasmus is the grammatical technique of inversion. This poem uses chiasmus, or concatenation, to create entrapment for the speaker, the subject, and the reader. I wrote this poem because I was frustrated with time. I hoped this technique would build a contamination of belief where sound, the repetition of words and their meanings, could weave the unknown and known. Truth or what Louise Glück calls “embodied vision” is most often found first in the excavation of sound: In the aural knots of the image. Each ligature of the line breaks builds an unbreakable machine of the poem. I want my poems to be concerned with the illumination of vision that makes alternative forms of time possible including the very form of our lives. What poetry offers us is the chance to practice embodied inquiry with intensity and intention. I hope that this poem, through presence, can dance with dignity through form to confront the dilemma of time.

Exploring Louise Glück's 'Snowdrops': A Tale of Resilience and RenewalIt's a new year and with it comes the common pressure cooker that is January. You will be awash in a sea of resolutions and you might be feeling the need to ''hit the ground running'' so to speak. In short; I think it's awful. So for the start of 2025, this episode focusing Snowdrops by Louise Glück, a Nobel Prize-winning poet whose work captures the delicate balance of grief, resilience, and renewal.The snowdrop, a fragile yet tenacious bloom of winter, serves as the perfect metaphor for this reflective time of year. Glück's poem speaks to survival, transformation, and the quiet strength required to embrace a new beginning—even amid life's harshest winters.Join me as I unpack Glück's masterful use of nature as allegory, her stark yet hopeful language, and the universal human experience reflected in her verse. This episode is a poignant reminder that growth often emerges from hardship and that taking time to rest, like the snowdrop buried in the earth, is an essential part of resilience.As we step into 2025, let this poem inspire you to embrace not a blank slate but a continuation—an opportunity to thrive in the raw winds of a new world.Tune in for an insightful and hopeful start to the year. And as always, I'd love to hear your thoughts—get in touch via email or on social media.Happy New Year, and thank you for being part of the Words That Burn journey.00:00 Introduction and Opening Thoughts00:47 Welcome to Words That Burn01:19 Louise Gluck and Her Poetic Voice02:23 Themes and Techniques in Gluck's Poetry04:48 Analysis of 'Snowdrops' - First Stanza08:40 Analysis of 'Snowdrops' - Second Stanza11:03 Human Resilience and Renewal14:52 Final Thoughts and Reflections17:17 Thank You Follow the Podcast:Read the Script on SubstackFollow the Podcast On InstagramFollow the Podcast on X/TwitterFollow the Podcast on TiktokFollow the podcast on BlueskyThe Music In This Week's Episode:'At The End Of All Things' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to our Festive Calendar, a special series of The Reader Podcast. Every day this December we will share with you a seasonal poem or a short extract from a novel or story, read by one of our staff or volunteer Reader Leaders.

It's read by Angela Macmillan, the editor of The Reader anthologies A Little, Aloud, A Little, Aloud for Children and A Little, Aloud with Love.

Today's poem is Telescope by Louise Glück. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, guest host Myka Kielbon writes… “I live on a hill on the edge of a valley. I look out my window and watch cars creep by on the interstate that could take me a thousand miles to my birthplace if I so choose. This slice of Los Angeles – the one I look out over everyday – is odd to reconcile with the map that I see on my phone. So now, as I live in it, I try to find my own authentic knowledge of the earth I see and the earth I feel, some melding of technologies and body.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

La quinta puntata dell'undicesima stagione di Moon Safari offre all'ascolto l'unione tra le nostre esplorazioni musicali al chiaro di luna e la lettura di tre poesie di Louise Glück tratte dalla raccolta L'Iris Selvatico.PLAYLIST POETICAI gigli bianchiMentre un uomo e una donna fannofra loro un giardino comeun lenzuolo di stelle, quiindugiano nella sera d'estatee la sera divienefredda dal loro terrore: potrebbefinire tutto, è passibiledi devastazione. Tutto, tuttopuò essere perduto, per l'aria profumatale colonne sottiliche si alzano inutilmente, e più in là,un mare agitato di papaveri –Zitto, amore. Non mi importaquante estati vivo per ritornare:in quest'unica estate siamo entrati nell'eternità.Ho sentito le tue due maniseppellirmi per sprigionare il suo splendore(Louise Glück, L'iris selvatico, trad. Massimo Bacigalupo, il Saggiatore, Milano 2020)Il papavero rossoIl massimoè non averemente. Sentimenti:oh, quelli ne ho; migovernano. Houn signore in cieloche si chiama sole, e mi aproper lui, mostrandogliil fuoco del mio cuore, fuococome la sua presenza.Che altro può essere una simile gloriase non un cuore? Oh, sorelle e fratelli,eravate come me una volta, tanto tempo fa,prima di essere umani? Viconcedeste di aprirviuna volta per poi non aprirvimai più? Perché in veritàadesso io sto parlandocome voi. Io parloperché sono distrutta.[Dalla raccolta L'Iris Selvatico, trad. Massimo Bacigalupo, il Saggiatore, Milano 2020Alla fine del mio soffrirec'era una porta.Sentimi bene: ciò che chiami mortelo ricordo.Sopra, rumori, rami di pino smossi.Poi niente. Il sole deboletremolava sulla superficie secca.È terribile sopravviverecome coscienzasepolta sulla terra scura.Poi finì: ciò che temi, essereun'anima e non poterparlare, finì a un tratto, la terra rigidaun poco curvandosi. E quel che mi parveuccelli sfreccianti in cespugli bassi.Tu che non ricordipassaggio dall'altro mondoti dico che seppi parlare di nuovo: tutto ciòche ritorna dall'oblio ritornaper trovare una voce:dal centro della mia vita venneuna grande fontana, ombre bluprofondo su acqua di mare azzurra.[Dalla raccolta L'Iris Selvatico, trad.

MÅNADENS DIKTARE (MAJ) UPPLÄSNING: Jesper Svenbro Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. När Jesper Svenbro debuterade 1966 med ”Det är idag det sker” var han en tjugotvåårig latinstudent i Lund som skildrade ett ljuvt grönskande landskap genom den antika idylldiktningens filter. Dikterna hälsades som en fläkt av ny romantik mitt i den experimentella poesins era. Sedan skulle det dröja till 1979 innan nästa diktsamling, ”Element till en kosmologi”, utkom. Jesper Svenbro hade vid det laget disputerat med en avhandling på franska om grekisk poetik och gjorde sig känd som en intellektuell, kontinental och inte sällan metapoetisk diktare.Diktsamlingen ”Samisk Apollon och andra dikter” (1993) kan ses som en vändpunkt i författarskapet. Här bryter ett mer personligt tilltal igenom och barndomen får en central plats. En resa till Lappland får en alldeles särskild betydelse, eftersom en planerad fjällsemester när den blivande poeten var åtta år gammal ställdes in efter att fadern omkommit i en kanotolycka. Skånskt möter samiskt möter antikt, eller som han skriver om Afrodites trollkonst: ”söder korsas med norr, väster korsas med öster, / högt korsas med lågt, nära med fjärran”. I senare böcker som ”Blått” (1994), ”Pastorn min far” (2001) och ”Himlen och andra upptäckter” (2005) fortsätter Svenbro utmejsla det som blivit kännetecknande för hans poesi: dubbelexponeringarna i tid och rum, de klassiska myterna som får liv i ett samtida landskap, bejakandet av ljuset och lyckan, samt epifanin, det uppenbarande ögonblicket, ofta markerat med ett utropstecken.Nya diktsamlingen ”Året hos Hyperboréerna” består av ”lyriska tankedikter”, som till stor del tillkommit under pandemins instängdhet, eller ”från husarresten” som poeten själv kallat det. Här utvidgas Svenbros panteon ytterligare, i dikter om Pasolini, Fats Navarro, Brodskij, Booker Little och Louise Glück. I en dikt tillägnad Hölderlin skriver han om dennes favoriserade versform, som även Svenbro själv är en flitig användare av, den alkaiska strofen: ”detta är tankedikt / som uppstått i Alkaios' livstid / utan att sedan ha mist sin sälta.”DIKT: ”Balettlektion – Dikt under pandemin” av Jesper SvenbroDIKTSAMLING: Året hos Hyperboréerna (Albert Bonniers förlag, 2024)MUSIK: Frédéric Chopin: Vals nr 19 Ess-durEXEKUTÖR: Alice Sara Ott, piano

Today's poem is Rant by Nathalie Anderson.The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes… "It feels like many people are passing from our lives. Not that the death of a poet is any more devastating, but when a poet dies, my grief is heavier. The year 2023 saw the loss of many poets I admire, including Benjamin Zephaniah and Louise Glück. When poet Donald Hall died in 2018, I noticed a great shift of voices, one generation exiting as another emerged. We will no longer hear their music in language. Maybe, this has always been the case.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today. Every donation makes a difference: https://tinyurl.com/rjm4synp

The last of three episodes in our cluster on Louise Glück: one of her oldest and dearest friends, the marvelous poet Ellen Bryant Voigt joins the podcast to talk about Louise's poem "Brooding Likeness." Ellen's books of poetry have recently been assembled into a staggering single volume, Collected Poems (Norton, 2023). She is also the author of two books of prose: The Flexible Lyric (Georgia, 1999) and The Art of Syntax (Graywolf, 2009).A couple notes on things that come up in the episode:Ellen discusses Louise's autobiographical note for the Nobel Prize. You can find that autobiographical piece here.We listen, during the episode, to a recording of Louise reading "Brooding Likeness." The recording contains an alternate phrase in its penultimate line, and during the episode Ellen and I surmise that it was an earlier version of the poem than the one that appeared in The Triumph of Achilles. I've since been able to confirm that. The poem first appeared (with the penultimate line as she reads it here) in The New Yorker on April 12, 1981. The reading we listen to happened on October 22, 1981. The book version, with the version of the line we both prefer, wouldn't be published until 1985.I hope these three episodes on Glück will add something to the beautiful array of memories that have appeared in writing since her passing. I think the guests speak to each other, even as I talk to them one on one, and they do so through their mutual devotion to the poetry of their friend.Please share, rate, and review the podcast if you like what you hear. And subscribe to my Substack to get occasional updates on my work.
The second episode in our cluster on the great Louise Glück, who won the 2020 Nobel Prize in Literature, and who passed away on October 13.Lanny Hammer rejoins the podcast to talk about his friend and colleague Louise and her poem "A Foreshortened Journey." Langdon Hammer is Niel Gray, Jr. Professor of English at Yale University, where he studies poetry and its place in the culture. Among his recent publications are James Merrill: Life and Art (Knopf, 2015) and A Whole World: Letters from James Merrill (Knopf, 2021), which he edited with Stephen Yenser. Lanny has also remembered Louise in print: you can find pieces by him about her in The Yale Review and The Paris Review.I hope you'll hear the beautiful resonances that begin to emerge between the episodes in this cluster—and that, via the poems, they'll give you some sense of the person, the life, and the world she made and left behind.Make sure you're following the podcast to get new episodes as they roll out, and please share, rate, and review the podcast if you like what you hear.

After a little hiatus, the podcast returns with a cluster of new episodes on the great, late poet Louise Glück, recipient of the 2020 Nobel Prize in Literature. Louise passed away on October 13. First up we have the brilliant poet and writer Elisa Gonzalez, who knew Louise as both teacher and friend. Elisa has chosen the poem "A Village Life" for our conversation.Elisa's first collection of poems, Grand Tour, was just published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. About the book, Louise Glück wrote, "These poems make me feel as if poems have never before been written." You can find Elisa's poems, essays, and stories in places like The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Harper's, The Point, The Drift, and The New York Times Magazine. Follow Elisa on Twitter. You can find Elisa's memorial piece for Louise here, in The Paris Review.The other conversations in this cluster will roll out over the course of this week—make sure you're following the podcast to get them as soon as they come out.

The day-to-day minutiae isn't where most of us turn for inspiration. This small stuff tends to be pretty monotonous. In this episode of Design Yourself, we challenge these assumptions and turn our excitement up for the granular and the mundane. Let's explore together how we can crack our ennui and find comfort and a sense of direction by thinking small. In Thinking Small we explore 1) clues that thinking small is good leadership "move;" 2) the practice of paying attention (without judgement); 3) a Louise Glück poem to inspire us all to look closer.

American poet and 2020 Nobel Laureate Louise Glück has passed away. She was something of a house favorite here, so we thought we'd share a rebroadcast of the time Jeff and Rebecca talked about the life and work of Louise Glück, plus an extended discussion of her 1993 poem, “Vespers.” RIP, Louise Glück, we are so grateful for your work and your life.
