(Not an) Exam Special - "The Waste Land" by TS Eliot ft. Arjan Hut
It's a big special episode! Poet Arjan Hut and I sit down in front of a tin can to talk TS Eltiot's the Waste Land. It's a mixed language interview, and I'm leaving it that way because The Waste Land is too! If you listen on Apple Podcasts, you can get an automated translated transcript in the app.We talk collage form, the world in shambles, mixed language poetry, and what we like about this deck-o-tarot-cards poem written in 1922. Enjoy!Featuring Arjan Hut from Garbielle en Arjan bedoele it net ferkeardProducer Gustav Worm-LethOutro Yentl TijssensRecording - AbelPhoto: Niels Westra Hosted on Acast.

25. Villanelles pt 1 - Dylan Thomas "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night"
In this episode, I'll be talking about how we can look at poetic forms and discover their internal benefits -- through a difficult form to write called a Villanelle. I'll discuss harnessing the power of repetition with Dylan Thomas' Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night.Production Gustav Worm-LethOutro Yentl Tijssens Hosted on Acast.

24. Couplets suck! (a Rant) - Robert Louis Stevenson "Land of Nod", Basil Bunting "Briggflatts", and Robert Frost "Nothing Gold Can Stay"
In this episode of Preston's Poetry Podcast ----- I'm wasting your time with a rant about why I (usually) hate couplets. It's also another "screw you" to some 19th-century poets, which is always nice. I'll be comparing the great couplet use of Robert Frost with Robert Louis Stevenson -- "Nothing Gold Can Stay" and "The Land of Nod" (respectively, the latter I hate.) Plus a cameo appearance of one of my favorites, "Briggflatts" by Basil Bunting.Producer Gustav Worm-LethOutro Yentl Tijssens Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

23. Free Verse Form - "Small Kindnesses" by Danusha Lameris
We’ve also previously been talking about this dynamic interchange – what Hopkins calls counterpoint — between Form and Function, how truly great poems take on a form not because the form is important in itself but because the structure of the poem somehow reflects the subject matter. So, what about free verse? Today’s poem is a good example about how free verse itself can serve a function.
