Episode 70 - Poetry - An antidote for aloneness - A deeper connection with Emily Dickinson
"Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought
and the thought has found words."
- Robert Frost
Episode 70 with Danielson has finally arrived. Another unedited, one take blithering session with "Just Two Ones." As indicated in the "Antidote Primer for upcoming Episode," Danielson and I will attempt to interpret and relate to six selected Emily Dickinson poems. The poems discussed include:
1. This is my letter to the world (Danielson)
2. I felt a cleaving in my mind (Danielson)
3. My portion is defeat (Danielson)
4. I'm Nobody! Who are you? (Steve The Hopeful Humanist)
5. Longing is like the Seed (Steve The Hopeful Humanist)
6. There is a solitude of space (Steve The Hopeful Humanist)
It is my hope you have had a chance to read and recite out loud the poems before listening to the episode. I hope you enjoy the conversation ...
Resources:
1) Please revisit the "Antidote Primer for Upcoming Episode" for complete resource list.
2) In terms of some Canadian poets worth exploring, you might try collections by Al Purdy, John Newlove, Erin Moure and Roo Borson.
A Parting Salutations:
A special thank-you goes out to Danielson! I am already looking forward to our next blithering session.
Thank-you for joining me for another meeting of the minds. Here I would like to leave you with the invitation to think about the benefits of bringing a little more poetry into your life. Express yourself! As always, the conversation is ongoing and continuous.
