Episode 173: By Heart: On Memory, Poetry, and Form
Manage episode 428172567 series 2021348
In this computerized age, we tend to see memory as a purely cerebral faculty. To memorize is to store information away in the brain in such a way as to make it retrievable at a later time. But the old expression "knowing by heart" calls us to a stranger, more embodied and mysterious take on memory. In this episode, Phil and JF endeavour to recite two poems they've learned by heart, as a preamble to a discussion on poetry, form, and the magic of memory.
Details on Shannon Taggart's Symposium @ Lily Dale (July 25-28).
