Patti Smith's album “Horses” came out fifty years ago, on November 10, 1975, launching her to stardom almost overnight. An anniversary reissue came out this year, to rapturous reviews. Yet being a rock star was never Smith's intention: she was a published poet before “Horses” came out, and had also written a play with Sam Shepard. Music was an afterthought, as she tells it, a way to make her poetry readings pop. “I didn't want to be boring,” she tells David Remnick. In recent years, it may finally be that more people know Smith as a writer than as a musician. Her memoir “Just Kids,” about her friendship with the late photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, won a National Book Award. “M Train” reflected on her withdrawal from music as she raised a family. In her newest memoir, “Bread of Angels,” Smith writes intimately about the loss of her husband, her brother, and close friends; she also shares a startling revelation about her family and past. It's a book that was challenging for her and took her years to write. “I write profusely—fiction, fairy tales, all kinds of things that aren't even published—without a care,” she says. “Writing a memoir, bringing other people into it, one has to really be prudent, and search themselves and make sure that they're presenting the right picture.” New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday. Join host David Remnick as he discusses the latest in politics, news, and current events in conversation with political leaders, newsmakers, innovators, New Yorker staff writers, authors, actors, and musicians.
In her role as poet, Rachel Donahue has a track record of gathering other poets, encouraging them in their work, and giving them space to shine. In her role as publisher and editor at Bandersnatch Books, she has done all those things for poets by envisioning, then bringing to life I’ve Got a Bad Case of Poetry, an anthology of poems for children by dozens of poets, gorgeously illustrated by Emily J. Person. In this episode, Jonathan Rogers speaks with both Rachel and Emily about the origins of A Bad Case of Poetry, the joys of creating in community, and the role of delight in the making of art—especially art for children. To get I've Got a Bad Case of Poetry by Christmas, preorder at Kickstarter before December 5.Support the show: https://therabbitroom.givingfuel.com/memberSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ian McMillan enjoys the language of the iconic 'Night Mail' poem by W.H. Auden, invites us into signal boxes, imagines train station bars, and evokes the empty platforms that inspire songs - as he celebrates 200 years of railway inspired poetry with his guests Don Paterson, Carmen Marcus, Bella Hardy and Patrick McGuinness.Don Paterson is a poet and musician. He's the editor of an anthology of train poems called 'Train Songs' (with Sean O'Brien) and described the chapters of his memoir 'Toy Fights' as 'train windows'. The Verb has commissioned Don to write a poem about a station that seems to him particularly unpoetic..Carmen Marcus is a graduate of the 'Verb New Voices' writing scheme. She is a novelist and poet, and for the anniversary of the passenger railway she has been talking to passengers on the Stockton & Darlington line and writing train inspired poems. Carmen brings railway trolls and brand new words for the excitement of train travel to the Verb studio.Patrick McGuinness is British-Belgian writer and poet. He teaches French and Comparative Literature at Oxford. His latest book is a series of essays called 'Ghost Stations' - he explains why the idea of the 'ghost station' has been such a powerful 'engine' for his writing.Bella Hardy is a lover of ballads, a BBC Folk Singer of the Year, and a songwriter. The Verb has asked her to respond to one of the greatest train platform inspired songs of all time - Paul Simon's 'Homeward Bound' . Bella performs a brand new song that celebrates the way waiting for a train can lead artists to come up with some of their best work.You'll also hear the acoustics of a real signal box - part of a soundscape produced by Sheffield folk and electronics duo Polyhymns.Produced by Faith Lawrence

See! the moon is smiling Down her brightest beams, And the leaflets sleeping, Whisper in their dreams; Hear the merry music, And the peoples' lays, Hear the happy voices Joining in the plays. There in old Kentucky, On a summer's night, Stands a quadroon maiden, Clothed in robes of white; On her raven ringlets, Orange blossoms sleep, O'er her slender figure, Bridal vestments sweep. There we see her mistress, Smiling now with pride, On her handsome fav'rite, Whom she sees a bride. There is much rejoicing O'er Eliza's match; Misses Shelby fancies George is a good “catch.” So the banjo's sounding, And the people sing, Hear them gayly dancing, To the fiddle's ring. But the dawn is breaking, Guests must now disperse; Quick the bow is silent, Ere the sunlight bursts. This week in Louisiana history. November 8, 1893. First LSU v.

Send us a textTheater #183: Poetry on the Menu Poetry on the Menu In January 1967, writer/participatory journalist George Plimpton dreamed up a publicity stunt for heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali. He arranged for him to meet Marianne Moore, decorated American poetess – a showman who creates doggerel rhymes, together with one of the finest true poets in the history of the English language. The pair couldn't be more opposite – He a gigantic, athletic man of color, at his physicalpeak, age 25, not formally educated, a Muslim, loud, charismatic, a showman with the burgeoning edge for social causes and advocacy; She, elderly, age 80, pasty white, doggedly Presbyterian, incredibly well educated, shy, frail and a kind of dowager spinster. Ali's poems, so called, which predicted his fights, were little more than expanded limericks. Moore's balletic verses and images won her the Pulitzer Prize, the National Medal in Literature and almost the Nobel Prize. Theirhost that day, Toots Shor, was a rough New York man of Jewish descent, who rubbed elbows, hosted, drank with, and incurred the wrath of entertainment giants of the first two-thirds of the 20th Century: Frank Sinatra, Charlie Chaplin, Ernest Hemingway, Joe DiMaggio, Marilyn Monroe, etc. The meeting only lasted a few minutes and produced a short poem, “On the annihilation of Ernie Terrell,” Ali's next title foe. The playwright has expanded the meeting in a deeper way, as a one-act play, using snippets ofMoore's poetry to frame the time, Ali's immediate and lasting appeal through his pithy quotes uttered over two decades, and foreshadowing his thoughtful future self.Bernadette Armstrong directs a cast that includes Omari Williams as Muhammad Ali, Anne Cooper as Marianne Moore, Gary Lamb as Toots Shor, and Justice Davis as Kandu.James Anthony Merolla is the playwright. A journalist with a career spanning four decades, he is also a director.

This week, I talk with Pelumi Olatinpo about his new poetry collection Manifest Destiny. He shares how and why he created a new type of poetry, what inspired him to write about Manifest Destiny and the way it echoes throughout history, and the power of bearing witness.Manifest Destiny SynopsisAmerica turns 250 in 2026. In MANIFEST DESTINY, Pelumi Olatinpo delivers an essential examination of what we've been, what we are, and what we might become.This isn't a traditional book. It's a new form entirely—159 “sonetas” that compress centuries into seconds, each one exactly sixty words. Think of them as diagnostic tools, or prayers, or evidence. Olatinpo's innovation makes complex history feel like music in your bones.Olatinpo writes with the authority of someone who has lived the contradictions he interrogates: arriving undocumented at fifteen, becoming a citizen twenty-two years later. This second book after the acclaimed Poeta moves through four sections—from intimate love through historical memory to prophetic witness—each soneta a small revelation.“All men are created equal, some more equal than others.”“In Lagos, you damn the bled, or join the dead.”“I've loved you with the darkest and brightest blues / Of every ocean.”The journey spans continents and centuries, connecting Gaza to Gettysburg, colonial Nigeria to contemporary Chicago. Code-switching between biblical prophecy, constitutional language, and Nigerian Pidgin, Olatinpo reveals patterns we've been trained not to see.Extensive endnotes turn every reference into a teaching moment. The final piece appears on the book's endpaper—making it impossible to close without confronting the question: who remembers?For readers of Ta-Nehisi Coates' Between the World and Me, Claudia Rankine's Citizen, and anyone seeking to understand America at this crucial moment.Essential reading for the 250th anniversary. A book that transcends genre to become necessary equipment for our time.

"With Kristi [second analyst], it was much, much deeper. This whole dependent and infantile part of me was coming out. This is psychoanalytic language - I was moving into a regression that was terrifying, because I had been trained by my mother, and it was my nature, and it was what had worked for me to really approach things as an 'independent person' ie I don't need anybody; I don't need anything; I can function whatever happens. While I explored a little bit of that with Lane [first analyst], it was only very slight, and we never talked about it. With Kristi, she would actually make me aware of it, and I would become aware of my own need for her and withdraw. With Kristi, it was immediate that I knew there was much greater complexity going on, a level of complexity that I couldn't have handled in my 20s. And we locked horns almost immediately." Episode Description: We begin with describing the various psychotherapy journeys that individuals undergo in search of healing. In her memoir, Joan describes two intense yet fundamentally different psychoanalyses at different points in her life. The first analysis was focused on uncovering the unrecognized story of her early family life. The second demonstrated how she was unknowingly replaying that family life in her relationship with her analyst, "I was reliving my whole childhood in our relationship." She came to recognize the "unacknowledged parts of myself" that her analyst "coaxed from its psychic den." She invites us into the frenetic 'regressive' periods where she both desperately craved the affections of her analyst and simultaneously refused to accept the care that was being offered. Multiple episodes of rupture and repair led her to come to terms with the human condition, both her own and her analysts. She closes with "As minutely as I've described these two analyses, I feel as if I've left half unsaid. And yet, as Kristi might say, it's enough." Our Guest: Joan K. Peters, PhD, is a Professor Emeritus of Literature and Writing at California State University at California. She is the author most recently of Untangling: A Memoir of Psychoanalysis. At last year's meeting of The American Psychoanalytic Association, she gave a talk on memoir and psychoanalysis, and in the upcoming one, her book will be the subject of a panel discussion. In addition to her blog for Psychology Today, she's contributed an essay on dream interpretation for Psychoanalytic Inquiry, and is guest editing a special issue of that same journal on "The Patient Experience."

Sharing an episode of the No Small Endeavor podcast. These days, our culture is marked by political unrest, polarization and anxiety. Beauty and art feel like a luxury, or even a distraction. In a special series, No Small Endeavor is asking: What if art, beauty and poetry are exactly what we need to face the crisis at hand? Can poetry help us protest, pray, lament and even hope? Host Lee C. Camp talks to poets like Haleh Liza Gafori, a poet, musician, and acclaimed translator of the Persian poet Rumi; and Pádraig Ó Tuama, poet, theologian, and host of Poetry Unbound. Their conversations evoke thoughtfulness about how to fight for beauty in the current culture, and how to make it through the fires of our time together. In this episode, Lee talks to Joy Harjo, a musician, author, and three-term U.S. Poet Laureate. Camp and Harjo explore how poetry can act as a form of justice, a practice of self-development, and a tiny experiment in healing.

650. Nathalie Dessens is returning to her work on Gentilly and Creole New Orleans through the recent publication of Gentilly: A New Orleans Plantation in the French Atlantic World, 1818-1851 (a book she co-edited and translated with Virginia Meacham Gould. It features letters from the manager of the Gentilly plantation, providing insight into 19th-century plantation life and its connection to the city. Dessens is a historian who has previously written on the topic in her book Creole City: A Chronicle of Early American New Orleans. Nathalie Dessens is professor of history at the University of Toulouse. Now available: Liberty in Louisiana: A Comedy.

ALL the hunters in a village killed many deer one winter, except one man. This one saw many deer. Sometimes he drew his bow and shot at them; yet they escaped. Now this hunter had been away from his village three days. He had seen many deer; not one had he killed. On the third day, when the sun was hot over his head, he saw an alligator. Alligator was in a dry, sandy spot. He had had no water for many days. He was dry and shriveled. Alligator said to the hunter, “Where can water be found?” The hunter said, “In that forest, not far away, is cold water.” “I cannot go there alone,” said Alligator. “Come nearer. Do not fear.” The hunter went nearer, but he was afraid. “You are a hunter,” said Alligator, “but all the deer escape you. Carry me into the water, and I will make you a great hunter. You shall kill many deer.” The hunter was still afraid. Then he said, “I will carry you, but first I must bind you so that you cannot scratch me; and your mouth, so that you cannot bite me.” So Alligator rolled over on his back and let the hunter bind him. He fastened his legs and mouth firmly. Then he carried Alligator on his shoulders to the water in the forest. He unfastened the cords and threw him in. Alligator came to the surface three times. He said, “Take your bow and arrow and go into the woods. You will find a small doe. Do not kill it. Then you will find a large doe. Do not kill it. You will meet a small buck. Do not kill that. Then you will meet a large, old buck. Kill that.” The hunter took his bow and arrow. Everything happened just as Alligator had foretold. Then he killed the large, old buck. So he became a very great hunter. There was always venison in his wigwam. This week in Louisiana history. November 1, 1966. New Orleans Saints become 16th NFL football team.

Send us a textPlease bear in mind this is recording of my practice of a talk I gave in February 2025 to a group of secular artists as a means of connecting with non-believers who operate in the creative arts in the areas of Music, Poetry, and Art. It is an attempt to help them see their creative process as a potential opportunity to approach God. "Art, Music, Poetry: Is It a Pathway to Christian Spirituality?"This presentation explores the concept of mysticism, challenging the misconception that it is irrational or opposed to reason. Instead, I attempt to present spirituality as a gateway to deeper Christian spirituality, particularly as an antidote to the narrow materialistic thinking prevalent in modern society.The episode draws mainly on philosopher Simon Critchley's latest book, On Mysticism, using his insights as a springboard to explore Christian spirituality and mysticism. Critchley, argues that mysticism is about experiencing life in its most intense form. He discusses how figures like Julian of Norwich, Eckhart, and even contemporary artists like Nick Cave have engaged with mysticism. Critchley suggests that deep engagement with art, music, and poetry can serve as secular gateways to religious experience. However, the podcast contrasts this secular approach with the biblical foundation of Christian mysticism, which is rooted in divine revelation.Christian mysticism is not an abandonment of reason but an extension of it—an experiential knowledge of God that transcends intellectual comprehension. Throughout history, Christian mystics, such as St. Teresa of Ávila, St. John of the Cross, and Thomas Aquinas, sought union with God through disciplined spiritual practice. Biblical figures like Moses, Elijah, and Paul also had mystical encounters with God. The episode emphasizes that these experiences are not irrational but deeply transformative, aligning with scriptural teachings.A critical theme discussed is how modern scepticism and distractions hinder mystical experiences. People are so consumed with self-obsession and media distractions these days that they rarely create space for transcendence. In contrast, historical mystics dedicated themselves wholly to prayer, fasting, and contemplation, allowing profound encounters with God.Jesus Himself invited believers into a mystical relationship, stating, "I am the vine; you are the branches" (John 15:5). The episode explores how devotional practices such as prayer, scripture reading, and worship cultivate this relationship, leading to spiritual transformation.The contemporary world often operates under the stories of power and hedonism, leading to nihilism and despair. Christianity, however, offers an alternative narrative centered on love, sacrifice, and redemption.

“I think therefore I am.” ~DescartesJohn Jennifer adds: I care therefore we are… and you cannot think your way to ‘we'John Jennifer is a poet, an architect, and a cultural instigator. He helped create The Museum of No Spectators which includes Burning Man art of snark and social justice, but no velvet ropes. He's a paradox embracer. In a world of binaries, he asserts that between black and white is not a gradient of gray; between black and white is all the conceivable colors.Hear him philosophize about different styles of art and artists, from avant garde to architecture, from Salvador Dalí to Frank Lloyd Wright. They explore how a glittery clothespin alligator and a museum-grade sculpture both share the humanity of the giver.They explore playa art — genre-defying, genre-defining — and the value of both fine art and participatory art at Burning Man.They explore how creative expression went from being seen as a hobby to a human need, and how creative community proliferates.Listen in on their profound and playful chat.
"I'm a sports page guy… very unpoetic," says Dr. Tim Saleska, professor of Exegetical Theology at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis. "I came to discover the power that certain poems have on me. How they can influence and change me; make me think about my life, my relationship with our Lord differently or deepen it." Join us as we explore the power of poetry and discuss Mary Karr's poem "Disgraceland."
We're back with another instalment of The Spark, Creative Boom's bonus episode that gets under the skin of each week's guest. This time, host Katy Cowan is joined by Brian Collins – legendary designer and co-founder of COLLINS. In this playful after-show, Brian reveals the piece of creative advice he always ignores, the guilty pleasure he'll defend to the death, and the oddest compliment he's ever received. He talks about the colour that has defined his life, the mythical creature that best sums up his creativity, and why Oreos are basically the design equivalent of a perfect steak. He also shares the question he'd rather not ask but knows he should, who he'd invite to a dream dinner party, and the medium he secretly wishes he'd mastered. It's cheeky, candid and full of Brian's trademark humour – the perfect companion to his full conversation with Katy, released earlier this week.

One of the founders of the Language School of Poetry reads from his new books, "Letter To Poetry" and "Simple Syrup."
Archivum (Pavillion Poetry at Liverpool UP, 2025) by Dr. Theresa Muñoz is a book – wise, funny and inventive by turn – that explores what it means to look at artefacts in an archive, and how these objects resonate with events in our lives. Imagined as a walk across Edinburgh, landmarks such as the Balmoral clock, National Library of Scotland, Meadows, Canongate Kirkyard and Water of Leith provide a meditative backdrop to the poems. The archives - in particular the archive of the writer Muriel Spark – are used to create a space to come to terms with the complexities of a life and how we in turn tell stories about ourselves: the depths of our familial relationships, relationship breakdowns and the death of a parent. What's found in the archive's boxes -- including recipes, telegrams, letters -- stirs and amplifies feelings of belonging, disorientation, triumph and grief. With a focus on women writers and interracial relationships, the book explores objects belonging to significant figures in the poet's imaginary: along with Spark, the actor Maggie Smith, poet Elizabeth Bishop, the 19th century slave owner's daughter Eliza Junor and psychotherapist Marie Battle Singer. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

The word "poetry" is often used as a metaphor. Many see the art form as something from the past, associate it with academics or think of it as unapproachable, it is none of those things. Poetry is alive and well, and in North Carolina, it's promoted by the state's poet laureate Jaki Shelton Green. She's the ninth person to hold that position and joins us to talk about the role of poetry in modern life.
