Description

In this episode of The Unwritten Aesthetic, a philosophy podcast, Reese Brown and Lauren Bush explore the intricate relationship between poetry and art, discussing their creative processes, the questionable value of effort in artistic creation, and the role of humor, spirituality, and the audience in poetry. They delve into the differences between short and long poems, the layers of meaning in both poetry and visual art, and the role of trust in the relationship between the artist and the viewer. The dialogue also touches on the absurdity of life, self-deprecation in art, and philosophical reflections on understanding and interpretation.

Welcome to The Unwritten Aesthetic, a philosophy and creativity podcast where the intellectual rigor of philosophy meets the creative pursuit of an artful life. A place for two friends to be passionate about philosophy as an artistic pursuit, ask life’s most important questions, create something we believe in, and to be two silly gooses.

Be a part of the Collective and tune in to The Unwritten Aesthetic every other Tuesday.
