Dido to Aeneas

This week I take a look at the poem Dido to Aeneas by Barbara Guest. As a poet Guest tends to create pieces and verse of extreme beauty her language is a decadence all it's own. Often, she will choose to forgo obvious meaning in favour of a kind of lyrical tapestry. What I hope to show in this episode is that, despite this, her work resonates deeply with the human condition.The show notes for today's episode, with full references can be found here: https://wordsthatburnpodcast.com/You can get in touch with me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wordsthatburnpodcast/or by email : [email protected] music in this weeks episode is Gray Drops by Kai Engel and is used under creative commons license.
