Lisa B (Lisa Bernstein) on George Herbert's "The Flower"

The Talking Poem Podcast

I talk with Lisa B (Lisa Bernstein), author of God in Her Ruffled Dress, about George Herbert's "The Flower." We have a great chat, AND I owe Lisa because we had to re-record the first half. We talk about the sensual, the erotic, and sound, among many other things. Then Lisa reads and we talk about her poem "God #2." After that, we play an audio game titled "Excuse me while I kiss this guy, because we built this city on sausage rolls." Episode brought to you by the cereal producers of America.

Also mentioned:

  • John Donne's "Holy Sonnet: Batter my heart, three-person'd God"
  • George Herbert's "Easter Wings"
