Podcasts about Spoon River

This song, while beautiful at any time of the year, is especially resonant at the dawn of a new holiday season. So this morning, as our Thanksgiving gift, here's The Flood's latest performance of the late Michael Peter Smith's evocative “Spoon River.”Thanksgiving, as a season celebrating the bonds of friends and families, is a particularly good time to appreciate a song that reminds us in the very first verse how “all our lives were entwined to begin with.”As we noted an earlier in Flood Watch article, Smith once famously commented, “I like songs that delight in giving you a picture,” and “Spoon River” does that in spades, from images of riverboat gamblers and Union soldiers to the calico dresses in the attic along with Grandfather's derringer case.Thanksgiving gatherings often involve opening drawers, unlocking old doors and retelling stories to reconnect with ancestors through the objects they pass down.And more. Our favorite lines, at the end of the second verse — There are words whispered down in the parlor, a shadowy face. The morning is heavy with one more beginning ….— evoke the way that memory itself seems to drift through a house during the holidays, the past present with the living. May this song bring you joy and sweet memories as you come and ride through the morning. This is a public episode.

Pensamos en cómo dialogar con los clásicos con la ayuda de Juan Herrero Diéguez, ganador del Premio Adonáis 2024 por Cartografía de nadie (Ed. Rialp), poemario en el que el autor vallisoletano toma La Odisea como punto de partida para hablarnos de nuestro tiempo.Luego, Ignacio Elguero nos propone otros títulos: El plan maestro (Ed. Planeta), que es la nueva novela de misterio de Javier Sierra, el cofrecito de la editorial Anagrama con las tragedias shakespereanas Antonio y Cleopatra y El mercader de Venecia, y Arderá el viento, obra de Guillermo Saccomanno ganadora del Premio Alfaguara de Novela 2025.Además, Javier Lostalé dedica su ventanita poética al volumen que reúne Luz de madera y Quebrada luz, dos poemarios publicados en la década de los noventa que en su momento se vieron eclipsados por la obra novelística de su autor, Manuel Rico, y que ahora recupera la editorial Olifante.En Peligro en La estación nuestro colaborador Sergio C. Fanjul nos recomienda Hijas del hormigón (Ed. Debate), ensayo de Aida Dos Santos que analiza -basándose en doscientos testimonios- las diferentes formas de clasismo, sexismo y violencia que sufren las mujeres de clase trabajadora en la periferia española.Terminamos el programa junto a Mariano Peyrou, que esta vez pone sobre la mesa la Antología de Spoon River, el famosísimo poemario del estadounidense Edgar Lee Masters. Todo un clásico del siglo XX que ahora podemos leer en una flamante edición de Galaxia Gutenberg con traducción, introducción y notas de Eduardo Moga.Escuchar audio

Alfonso Cipolla"Cadaveri e papere"Frammenti di un romanzo infrantoPrefazione di Claudio MercandinoEdizioni Seb27www.seb27.itSuore soubrette, centenari spericolati, pescatori incalliti, terroristi filantropi, danzatrici trottoliformi, aristocratici dinamitardi, cleptomani da discount, camerieri filosofi, gorgheggiatrici rupestri, rigattieri insonni, pendolari incontinenti… Cammei di personaggi improbalili, di luoghi inesistenti, di drammi irrilevanti; spicciolume quotidiano per un romanzo frantumato lasciato a dormicchiare per oltre trent'anni. Un umorismo plumbeo, amaro, alla deriva nel brodo in cui galleggia, come un'isola flottante, un mondo provinciale ingombro di grembiulini, di muffole e pattine, di processioni e cene monotone, di buche per le lettere intasate da réclame di gite organizzate per vendere padelle. Una inconsapevole Spoon River da retrobottega, un tramontare di genti meccaniche da piccolo affare: lenimento e vacuità, memoria a futura memoria di un secolo appena trapassato ma non ancora defunto, che a spolverarlo, ogni tanto, consola.Alfonso Cipolla.

Negli ultimi trent’anni la figura del curatore della Biennale di Venezia è diventata sempre più visibile, al punto che c’è chi sostiene che il suo ruolo sia fin troppo espansionista e interventista - commenta Massimiliano Gioni, autore del libro “Caffè Paradiso. La Biennale di Venezia raccontata dalle sue direttrici e dai suoi direttori” (Johann and Levi, 196 p., € 23,00). Da sempre la Biennale alterna artisti contemporanei con quelli del passato, a volte mettendoli a confronto, ma nelle ultime edizioni però le tracce del passato sono predominanti rispetti agli artisti contemporanei - conclude Gioni.RECENSIONI“Amore e Psiche.

S10P10 - Le lettere di Cesare Pavese e le esplorazioni musicali al chiaro di lunaPLAYLIST LETTERARIA. Lettera di Cesare Pavese a Bianca Garufi21 ottobre 1945Tu sei veramente una fiamma che scalda ma bisogna proteggere dal vento. a volte non so se un mio gesto tende a scaldarmi o a proteggerti. anzi allora m'immagino di fare le due cose insieme e questa è tutta la mia e la tua tenerezza come una cosa sola. (…)non credere alle soluzioni, alle decisioni, alle grandi crisi; credi ai giorni, alle ore, ai minuti. tanto, per grave che sia una crisi, una decisione, ti tocca pure vivere le ore, i giorni e i minuti, e questi li vivi naturalmente (…) ...ciao e sii bellaLettera di Cesare Pavese a Fernanda Pivano, 11 gennaio 1943Cara Fernanda,ricevo le due lettere, quella della malinconia, e quella su Spoon River e sul mio richiamo.Per S. R. farò tutto io qui, ma non s'illuda troppo presto perché vorranno vedere le bozze e potranno ritornare sulla decisione. Per il richiamo è una notizia del giornale, che dal 1° al 15 febbraio chiameranno tutti i laureati in congedo del 1923 e precedenti, per utilizzarli. Io, a buon conto ho già cominciato a muovermi per sapere, primo, se sarò chiamato; secondo, se lo sarò davvero; terzo, per guarire dall'asma. Stia certa che i miei desideri coincidono coi Suoi.Mi preoccupa di più la Sua malinconia e il tono di bestia condotta al macello da Lei assunto. Perché? È sola e disagiata, ma può studiare e lavorare; non se l'intende coi Suoi, ma studiando e lavorando si prepara il modo di farsi un'indipendenza; non Le sono vicino a farle prediche, ma gliele faccio da lontano, e tanto più meditate e inesorabili, e assisto i Suoi lavori e insomma non sono in Polinesia.Pensi che qui soffro il freddo come a Mondovì. Siamo in quattro in una casa, anzi cinque, tre uomini e due donne; viviamo studentescamente; si mangia non male; io giro tutto lacero e scalcagnato, e a Torino dovrò venire certo uno di questi giorni, non fosse che per rifornirmi di abiti. Da Torino passerei a Mondovì. Faccia sì che il primo incontro avvenga tra noi due soli, perché vorrò abbracciarla e baciarla. Ho deciso. Ho trovato molti complimenti per il Mare, che pare abbia colpito tutta Roma, ma io vivo isolatissimo, anche perché a girare di notte su questi maledetti autobus e circolari, dove non si capisce niente, non mi pigliano certo.Cara Fernanda, si sta meglio con Lei a Torino, e anche a Mondovì. Stia allegraLettera di Cesare Pavese a Constance Dowling - 17 marzo 1950Cara Connie,volevo fare l'uomo forte e non scriverti subito, ma a che servirebbe? Sarebbe soltanto una posa.Ti ho mai detto che da ragazzo ho avuta la superstizione delle "buone azioni"? Quando dovevo correre un pericolo, sostenere un esame, per esempio, stavo attento in quei giorni a non essere cattivo, a non offendere nessuno, a non alzare la voce, a non fare brutti pensieri. Tutto questo per non alienarmi il destino. Ebbene, mi succede che in questi giorni ridivento ragazzo e corro davvero un gran pericolo, sostenendo un esame terribile, perché mi accordo che non oso esser cattivo, offendere gli altri pensare pensieri vili. Il pensiero di te e un ricordo o un'idea indegni, brutti, non s'accordano. Ti amo.Cara Connie, di questa parola so tutto il peso - l'orrore e la meraviglia - eppure te la dico, quasi con tranquillità. L'ho usata così poco nella mia vita, e così male, che è come nuova per me.[…] Amore, il pensiero che quando leggerai questa lettera sarai già a Roma - finito tutto il disagio e la confusione del viaggio -, che vedrai nello specchio il tuo sorriso e riprenderai le tue abitudini, e dormirai da brava, mi commuove come tu fossi mia sorella. Ma tu non sei mia sorella, sei una cosa più dolce e più terribile, e a pensarci mi tremano i polsi.PLAYLIST MUSICALE >>> https://open.spotify.com/playlist/27FzChJdoNvn0ZE2TdGgC4?si=JAupD-dpSlmdgtkIShAWWw&pi=e-EcexSxGeTXiS.

What is probably America's best-known song about the Netherlands — “The Dutchman” — was written by a man who had never been there.“The song has in it almost everything I'd ever read or heard, in school and in the library, about Holland,” composer Michael Peter Smith told a fan in 2010, about 40 years after he wrote the song at the very start of his career.Did he ever consider singing it in Holland? Oh, hell no!“Can you imagine,” Smith said, “the reception a Dutch singer would get in New York City with a song in Dutch called 'The American'?”Unconditional Love“The thing is,” Smith added, “it isn't really about a country or its denizens, is it? It's about these older people's day and how she takes care of him and how they sing together and how quickly everything is past and forgotten. They truly could be anywhere, yes?” Yes, of course. Anyone who listens to it knows “The Dutchman” has little to do with windmills and canals and everything to do with the unconditional love of Margaret and the sweet little husband who is drifting away from her.Enter Steve Goodman“The Dutchman” — the best known song by Smith, who died in 2020 at age 78 — came to prominence in 1972 when it was released as the opening track of Steve Goodman's second album, Somebody Else's Troubles. A few years earlier, Goodman had become entranced with the song when he heard Smith perform it at a club in Miami. Goodman went back every chance he could just to start memorizing it. Subsequently, his rendition became an instant FM radio hit at a time when FM was rich territory for original and innovative “adult contemporary” music. Over the years, Smith always credited Goodman for giving his songs a much higher visibility. (Steve recorded a second Michael Smith classic — “Spoon River” — on a subsequent album, Incidentally, The Flood also regularly performs “Spoon River,” as reported in this earlier Flood Watch article.)The Liam Clancy Connection While Steve Goodman is central to the Michael Smith story, the composer actually had a different singer in mind for the ultimate performance of “The Dutchman.”“The only person I ever flat out asked to sing this song,” said Smith, “was Liam Clancy, the great Irish singer. I knew it'd be good for him and I was right. Bless him, he sang it for almost 40 years, and made it sound like a Clancy Brothers tune.”Liam, who Bob Dylan once called "the greatest ballad singer of all time,” recorded it with Tommy Makem in 1983.Our Take on the TuneWe always loved Liam's version, but the song already was familiar to us from Steve Goodman's recording. Roger Samples, falling deeply in love with all of Goodman's albums, learned the song in the mid-1970s and taught it to the rest of us. Then for a decade or so, Rog sang it to our harmonies. Later on, when Rog moved away, the song lingered behind, Charlie taking over the vocals.Since then, every configuration of The Flood has regularly played “The Dutchman”, often at the end of a particularly sweet evening of music and stories. Lately, Charlie has given the song this new spin by adding a bit of mellow banjo to the mix.A Flood FootnoteBy the way, “The Dutchman” also plays an important part in a choice bit of Flood Lore, as Charlie can relate in a little two-part story.

L'artista, che per statuto è un portatore del disordine, oggi potrebbe portare un po' d'ordine sociale in una realtà dove l'economia ha perso l'audacia e la filosofia non è più in grado di mettere in dubbio il buonsenso - spiega Emilio Isgrò, artista e scrittore, parlando del suo libro "Sì alla notte" (Guanda, 288 p., € 19,00). Negli ultimi 50 anni la poesia e l'arte sono diventati autoreferenziali - commenta Isgrò, che per cercare di portare nella poesia lo stesso spirito rivoluzionario che le sue cancellature hanno portato nell'arte, si è ispirato alle origini della poesia italiana e al sonetto nato nella Sicilia di Federico II.

A literary and cultural milestone, Spoon River Anthology captured an idea of the rural Midwest that became a bedrock myth of life in small-town America. Jason Stacy places the book within the atmosphere of its time and follows its progress as the poetry took root and thrived. Published by Edgar Lee Masters in 1915, Spoon River America: Edgar Lee Masters and the Myth of the American Small Town (U Illinois Press, 2021) won praise from modernists while becoming an ongoing touchstone for American popular culture. Stacy charts the ways readers embraced, debated, and reshaped Masters's work in literary controversies and culture war skirmishes; in films and other media that over time saw the small town as idyllic then conflicted then surreal; and as the source of three archetypes—populist, elite, and exile—that endure across the landscape of American culture in the twenty-first century. A wide-ranging reconsideration of a literary landmark, Spoon River America tells the story of how a Midwesterner's poetry helped change a nation's conception of itself. Jason Stacy is a professor of history and social science pedagogy at Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville. He is the author of Walt Whitman's Multitudes: Labor Reform and Persona in Whitman's Journalism and the First Leaves of Grass, 1840–1855 and editor of Leaves of Grass, 1860: The 150th Anniversary Facsimile Edition.

His father served as the first British Prime Minister. As an adult, he designed a picturesque summer home for himself in southwest London, which he called Strawberry Hill. Horace's little castle caused a sensation, and he opened his home to four lucky visitors each day. An 1842 admission ticket spelled out rules for tourists: The House and Garden are never shown in an evening;  and persons are desired not to bring children with them. The Gothic Revival architecture complete with a round tower was a nod to his accomplished ancestry and is gorgeous inside and out. The stained glass and the library are two favorite aspects among visitors. Horace was a hardworking writer and a serious scholar. Horace coined the word serendipity after he finally located a painting he wanted for his home. He wrote the first Gothic novel, The Castle of Otranto (1764), ten years later. In addition to his other works, Horace wrote The History of the Modern Taste in Gardening (1771). A fan of natural gardens, he famously observed that his garden hero William Kent was the first garden designer to “[leap] the fence, and [see] that all of nature was a garden.”  Horace immensely enjoyed his five-acre romantic garden at Strawberry Hill, which he affectionately called his “enchanted little landscape” and his “land of beauties.” In addition to a grove of lime trees, the garden featured a sizeable Rococo shell seat with a back designed to look like an enormous shell. Today the one-of-a-kind bench has been recreated, and copies are available for gardeners to place in their own gardens. The oldest tree on the grounds is called the Walpole Oak, and a servant is said to have hung himself from the tree after stealing silver.   In 2019, the first Strawberry Hill House Flower Festival offered local florists a chance to share their creations inside Horace's Gothic masterpiece. The event is now an annual celebration of flowers. Today Strawberry Hill House hosts a community garden. Rose lovers can enjoy their own nod to Horace Walpole with the bubblegum-pink David Austin rose Strawberry Hill. As for Horace, this industrious man often found inspiration in gardens, and he once wrote, One's garden... is to be nothing but riant, and the gaiety of nature. Horace was also a fan of greenhouses and, in particular, the control they afforded gardeners. In a letter to William Mason on July 6, 1777, he wrote, Don't let this horrid weather put you out of humour with your garden, though I own it is a pity we should have brought it to perfection and [then] have too bad a climate to enjoy it. It is strictly true this year, as I have often said, that ours is the most beautiful country in the world, when [it is] framed and glazed... Finally, it was Horace Walpole who wrote, When people will not weed their own minds, they are apt to be overrun by nettles.   September 23, 1861  Birth of Mary Elizabeth Coleridge (pen name Anodos), English writer, polyglot, and poet. She was the great-grandniece of the English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. In her poem September, she wrote, Now every day the bracken browner grows, Even the purple stars Of clematis, that shone about the bars, Grow browner; and the little autumn rose Dons, for her rosy gown, Sad weeds of brown. Now falls the eve; and ere the morning sun, Many a flower her sweet life will have lost, Slain by the bitter frost, Who slays the butterflies also, one by one, The tiny beasts That go about their business and their feasts. She also wrote an utterly charming little garden poem called Gibberish. Many a flower have I seen blossom, Many a bird for me will sing. Never heard I so sweet a singer, Never saw I so fair a thing. She is a bird, a bird that blossoms, She is a flower, a flower that sings; And I a flower when I behold her, And when I hear her, I have wings.   September 23, 1958   On this day, the Dayton Daily News (Ohio) shared a little article about an old park that had been created to teach botany students. Back in 1930, Brother William Beck, a member of the University of Dayton biology department, filled two purposes with one park. The campus green needed re-landscaping and botany classes needed nearby, well-stocked gardens to study.  [William] set to work on his project, with the aid of local nurseries, and collected over 200 varieties of plants and shrubs in the central campus park, labeling all of them with their Latin names and English derivatives. Since that time, the University of Dayton… tended such out-of-the-ordinary plants as a Logan elm (a transplanted sprout from the famous tree); a coffee tree; pyramidal oaks; black alders; and ginkgo trees, to name a few.  Brother Beck's well-worked-out plan seems to have been practically forgotten through the years. Botany classes no longer wind among the shrubbery...   September 23, 1986  On this day, Congress selected the rose as the American national flower. The Journal News (White Plains, New York) reported that, The House, brushing aside the claims of marigolds and dogwood blossoms, corn tassels and columbines, ended decades of indecision Tuesday and crowned the rose, that thorny beauty, America's national flower. The voice-vote decision... [ended] a debate over an appropriate "national floral emblem" for the United States that had flickered off and on since the late 19th century.   Unearthed Words Even now, as the graves of these women went untended and their passings unmourned, the seeds they had scattered turned the hillsides red and orange from May to September. Some called the pirates' bounty flame trees, but to us, they were known as flamboyant trees, for no one could ignore their glorious blooms, with flowers that were larger than a man's open hand. Every time I saw them, I thought of these lost women. That was what happened if you waited for love. ― Alice Hoffman, The Marriage of Opposites   Grow That Garden Library Will Bonsall's Essential Guide to Radical, Self-Reliant Gardening by Will Bonsall This book came out in 2015, and the subtitle is Innovative Techniques for Growing Vegetables, Grains, and Perennial Food Crops with Minimal Fossil Fuel and Animal Inputs.

Will is open to experimentation, and he shares his hard-fought wisdom in a friendly and conversational way. Will's an inventive pragmatist, and his flexibility and innovative thinking have allowed him to tackle seemingly impossible challenges in his down-to-earth way. If you're ready to become more self-reliant and less swayed by world supply chains, economic bubbles, and food scarcity, Will's book is a reference you will want to have on your shelf. This book is 400 pages of back to the land and garden prosperity with Will Bonsall as your personal guide.

His most famous work was his collection of poems that narrate the epitaphs of a fictional town named Spoon River in The Spoon River Anthology (1915). Edgar grew up in Lewistown, Illinois, which is near an actual Spoon River. The book features an epitaph for a fictional nurseryman - a lover of trees and flowers - named Samuel Gardener, which ends with these words: Now I, an under-tenant of the earth, can see          That the branches of a tree          Spread no wider than its roots.          And how shall the soul of a man Be larger than the life he has lived? Edgar once wrote a poem about love, which began, Love is a madness, love is a fevered dream, A white soul lost in a field of scarlet flowers. His poem, Botanical Garden, is a conversation with God and ends with these words: “If it be comforting I promise you Another spring shall come." "And after that?" "Another spring - that's all I know myself, There shall be springs and springs!"   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener. And remember: “For a happy, healthy life, garden every day.”

It's the birthday of the author who gave us "The Spoon River Anthology," Edgar Le Masters (1868). The work lost him friends in Spoon River, but earned him enough to live as a writer.

Ogni volta che percorro le strade di Castello, il quartiere dove sono cresciuta, è come se attraversassi le pagine di Spoon River: rivedo tutte le cose e le persone che c'erano un tempo.TESTO TRASCRITTOOgni volta che torno nel vecchio quartiere di Castello dove sono nata e cresciuta, e ci torno molto spesso perché quasi tutti i giorni vado a trovare mia mamma che ancora ci abita, beh ogni volta che ci torno succede questa strana cosa che io cammino per le strade, vedo gli appartamenti, i palazzi, e mi viene sempre in mente quello che c'era prima, mi ricordo le botteghe, mi ricordo la pasticceria, mi ricordo il macellaio, la latteria, il calzolaio, e come ogni volta che passo lì è come se fosse un viaggio nella memoria, e ci sono questi piccoli momenti di quasi malinconia, perché era un bellissimo posto dove vivere, era pieno di voci, di famiglie, pieno di bambini. Era un quartiere molto popolare dove spesso si sentiva la gente gridare, litigare, si picchiavano. però era un quartiere incredibilmente vivo. come sono tutti i quartieri popolari, e sono molto legata al quartiere di Castello, e mi piacerebbe tornare a a viverci. Timidamente ci penso di cercare casa lì, anche se riflettendoci mi rendo conto che sarebbe un grandissimo cambiamento nel modo in cui vivo io e vive tutta la mia famiglia, perché tornare a vivere nel quartiere di Castello significherebbe modificare completamente le nostre abitudini. Adesso andiamo a piedi al mercato di San Benedetto, che è questo grande mercato di Cagliari con la frutta, la verdura, il pesce, la carne e con tutto quanto. Io ci arrivo a piedi in meno di 5 minuti, ci sono tanti supermercati, negozi. Andare a vivere in Castello significherebbe doversi organizzare completamente la vita in modo diverso, perché in Castello non ci sono botteghe, in Castello non ci sono supermercati, non c'è un'edicola, non c'è un tabacchino, non c'è uno sportello di banca, c'è giusto una farmacia e pochi altri negozi, quindi significherebbe veramente modificare il modo in cui viviamo, le nostre abitudini. Però io ci penso, ci penso a quanto mi piacerebbe tornare a vivere nel vecchio quartiere, nelle strade che conosco, dove sono cresciuta da bambina, continuo a pensarci.

Project Details Hello friend, I am Timothy Kimo Brien, head instigator at Create Art Podcast where we help you to tame the inner critic and create more than we consume. Every year in April National Poetry Writing Month occurs, this is a challenge to write 30 poems in 30 days and comes from the NaPoWriMo site. When you participate you are given a prompt every day for 30 days and you can choose to follow the prompt or not. Each prompt has a commentary with it and a style of poetry that you may not be familiar with. I enjoy it because it stretches my creative muscles and helps me organize my thoughts. I also really enjoy a good challenge. There is also an opportunity to read other people's work as they post on their websites and for you to comment on their work, giving them encouragement or offering a suggestion. Care to join me on this journey? Day 8 Prompt And last but not least, our (optional) prompt. I call this one “Return to Spoon River,” after Edgar Lee Masters’ eminently creepy 1915 book Spoon River Anthology. The book consists of well over 100 poetic monologues, each spoken by a person buried in the cemetery of the fictional town of Spoon River, Illinois. Today, I’d like to challenge you to read a few of the poems from Spoon River Anthology, and then write your own poem in the form of a monologue delivered by someone who is dead. Not a famous person, necessarily – perhaps a remembered acquaintance from your childhood, like the gentleman who ran the shoeshine stand, or one of your grandmother’s bingo buddies. As with Masters’ poems, the monologue doesn’t have to be a recounting of the person’s whole life, but could be a fictional remembering of some important moment, or statement of purpose or philosophy. Be as dramatic as you like – Masters’ certainly didn’t shy away from high emotion in writing his poems. Day 8 Poem Sans Detour We show clearly and strongly how we feel Sitting in this ship Amongst the others Praying for an adventure Far from the known Into the arms of Quebec The days are long And my minds drifts As we make our way Dreams about what is to come And stories from the crew Who have made this voyage Fill me with hope I scribble in my diary daily But most days have little to reveal To my progeny And I oft times wonder if They would even view my scratching My dreams show a multitude Who look similar to me and my ancestors Yet they don’t know my name They don’t know of Louis The beloved son of Julien and Jeanne The artist and scribe of the family Searching the world for more Adventures to add to the family tale Our immortality, I fear, dies with me Hence I left my family To carry on the name in the new world The tears of my mother And the fear Just under the surface Of my Papa’s face Are the last memories Reaching Out To reach out to me, email timothy@createartpodcast.com I would love to hear about your journey and what you are working on. If you would like to be on the show or have me discuss a topic that is giving you trouble write in and lets start that conversation.

Pino Pinelli è morto il 15 dicembre del 1969 precipitando dalla finestra della Questura di Milano e la verità non è stata mai accertata in sede giudiziaria. E tanti, troppi anni, ci sono voluti prima che le istituzioni restituissero la dignità a un uomo innocente, sottraendolo all’oblio. Nella seconda puntata dedicata alla sua storia, Sabrina Pisu ne parla con Claudia Pinelli, una delle sue due figlie, il professore Carlo Smuraglia, avvocato di parte civile, il giornalista Corrado Stajano, che è stato tra i primi, insieme a Camilla Cederna, ad accorrere in Questura quando si diffuse la notizia della sua morte, e l’avvocato penalista Gabriele Fuga. Ospite anche il grande attore Massimo Popolizio che legge la poesia incisa sulla tomba di Pino Pinelli, tratta dal suo libro più amato «L'Antologia di Spoon River» del poeta americano Edgar Lee Masters.

Join Jennie and Dianne as they read select and rather juicy poems from The Spoon River Anthology by Edgar Lee Masters. These poems are written from the perspective of those buried in the cemetery of the fictional town of Spoon River. Meet husbands and wives who drive each other crazy, the madam of a brothel who must pay regularly to support the public school, the tragic story of a young woman whose "virtue" is stolen and dies a tragic death at the hands of the doctor who was only trying to help and how it all drove her father to his own grave. Happy listening and happy new year!
