Description

In this project's first attempt at recording an episode I discuss Shelley's famous essay, A Defence of Poetry. The difference between reason and imagination; the relationship between civility and imagination; the relationship between poetry and civilisation, to name just a few of the topics from the essay that I discuss. This was the first audio I recorded for this series, I made it in October 2022. I wasn't sure if this recording was going to be just a rough first draught or an actual presentable recording, but you have to start somewhere and so this is how this project started. You can find me on Instagram at oralotium and if you like this episode, or any other episodes, and would like to show support or appreciation, then you could buy me a drink over on Patreon, just search Oralotium there, cheers ✌️🙏 follow on Instagram: Oralotium
