Update: 2024-02-16
Description
I talk with poet Diane Mehta (Tiny Extravaganzas) about Ciaran Carson's poem "John Constable, Study of Clouds, 1822." (Painting at the poem link; larger image here.) We talk about Constable and the view of the painting; death; music in Carson's poetry and others; Hamlet; why we're not fans of the last two lines. Afterward, Diane reads her fabulous poem "Extended Melodies." Then it's onto the game "The Undiscovered Country Puzzles the Will." Episode brought to you by The Poet's Atlas.
