Priest Tish Harrison Warren Reads Scott Cairns

What would it be like to experience a selection of poems with the same relaxed attitude you might take toward a playlist on a burnt CD, given to you by a friend, which you casually pop in on a long road trip? That’s the question we’re exploring with this new, extra-short episode format, which we’ll be publishing in-between our full-length releases.  We’re calling it a Poetry Playlist: three poems, loosely thematically related, presented with musical score, but without any commentary or historical context. Don’t worry about perfect comprehension, and steer clear of academic analysis. Just turn up the volume, roll down your windows, and enjoy the ride. https://open.spotify.com/episode/4hED7uFa96T1z9GH9VeQWg  Tracklist 1. “Vocalism” by Walt Whitman 2. “Introduction to the Songs of Experience” by William Blake 3. “To the Roaring Wind” by Wallace Stevens Subscribe on RadioPublic, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Stitcher. We hope to be back soon with a new, full-length episode. Thanks for listening!

Poetry Playlist: Vocalism

Alissa Rubin

In this episode, Alissa Rubin reads an excerpt from the ancient Greek epic The Iliad. Rubin is a Senior International Correspondent for The New York Times. She worked previously as the Bureau Chief in Baghdad, Paris, and Kabul. In 2016, she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in International Reporting for “thoroughly reported and movingly written accounts giving voice to Afghan women who were forced to endure unspeakable cruelties.” https://open.spotify.com/episode/7obE0bUZiGyAzOr7e6iI5x The passage that Rubin selected is from the very last book of The Iliad, and portrays an encounter between the Trojan King Priam and the Greek warrior Achilles. If you’re unfamiliar with the story, all you really need to know — for our purposes — is that Priam’s son killed Achilles’ best friend in combat, and Achilles then killed Priam’s son in retribution. At the point where we meet them, Achilles has been dragging the body of his slain enemy behind his chariot for twelve days, and Priam has come in person to his enemy’s encampment to plead for the return of his son’s body.  The Iliad by Homer, translated by Robert Fagles, is published by Penguin Random House. Alissa Rubin’s reporting – including her recent must-read coverage on climate change in the Middle East – is available to subscribers of The New York Times.  We feature one short listener poem at the end of every episode. To submit, call the Haiku Hotline at 612-440-0643 and read your poem after the beep.
