Myth, Poetry, and the Power of the Word
Manage episode 360569823 series 2882256
April is National Poetry month!
Myth and poetry have a long, shared history. In fact, our oldest known myths are poems.
Have you ever wondered why this might be?
I suspect the intuitive rightness of myth as poetry springs from the ancient understanding of the sacred power of the word. In this episode, we explore the creative power of speech with the aid of a handful of contemporary poems that reference myths. These poems also give us a chance to plumb the questions at the heart of these myths.
I hope you find a poem, a poet, a thought, a moment in this podcast that inspires or provokes you. As Jeanette Winterson says: " [...] a poem is like a shot of espresso – the fastest way to get a hit of mental and spiritual energy."
Thanks for listening and keep the mystery in your life alive.
