    Poetry & Its Education of Paradoxes

    However well the poet bears the unclear word within themselves, they are dedicated to precision. To arrive without fully knowing one’s function in language, but utter faith in it nonetheless. An episode riffing off a lecture to some education retirees the other day & the function of the poet in the world. The Laureates out […]

    Bianca Stone on her Newest Collection, The Near & Distant World

    There is a tension in the poet’s longing towards the complete book, wanting not to be too swept up in the commercialism, yet needing some kind of readership to engage with the poems.

    Bianca Stone is joined with the host of Moral Minority Podcast, Charles Dashings, for the penultimate moment: Rilke’s 9th elegy. The Ninth Elegy.
