Acerca de A Lovely Wallpaper

"A Lovely Wallpaper" offers up guided memorizations, featuring a new poem each episode. Proposing memory work as a challenge to the ephemeral language of our moment, host Abby delivers an exploration of each new poem in two parts. In the first act, she chats with a guest about poetry and memory. In the second act, she presents the episode's poem, as read by her guest, in a special format designed to work as a roadmap to learning it by heart.

John Donne's "A Nocturnal upon St. Lucy's Day" with Robert Harrison

Guest Robert Pogue Harrison, professor of Italian and French literature at Stanford, discusses his long running radio program "Entitled Opinions (about Life and Literature)." He presents “A Nocturnal upon St. Lucy's Day,” by John Donne. Recitation begins at 36:21. 'Tis the year's midnight, and it is the day's, Lucy's, who scarce seven hours herself unmasks; The sun is spent, and now his flasks Send forth light squibs, no constant rays; The world's whole sap is sunk; The general balm th' hydroptic earth hath drunk, Whither, as to the bed's feet, life is shrunk, Dead and interr'd; yet all these seem to laugh, Compar'd with me, who am their epitaph. *** But I am none; nor will my sun renew. You lovers, for whose sake the lesser sun At this time to the Goat is run To fetch new lust, and give it you, Enjoy your summer all; Since she enjoys her long night's festival, Let me prepare towards her, and let me call This hour her vigil, and her eve, since this Both the year's, and the day's deep midnight is.

Adam Zagajewski's "Try to Praise the Mutilated World" with Selma Asotić

In this episode, Abby interviews poet Selma Asotić about her English language debut Say Fire, a beautiful book about families, language, and trauma in post-war Sarajevo. Together, they present "Let Us Praise the Mutilated World" by Adam Zagajewski. Recitation begins 1:05:10 Try to Praise the Mutilated World By Adam Zagajewski Translated By Clare Cavanagh Remember June's long days, and wild strawberries, drops of rosé wine. The nettles that methodically overgrow the abandoned homesteads of exiles. You must praise the mutilated world. You watched the stylish yachts and ships; one of them had a long trip ahead of it, while salty oblivion awaited others. You've seen the refugees going nowhere, you've heard the executioners sing joyfully. You should praise the mutilated world. Remember the moments when we were together in a white room and the curtain fluttered. Return in thought to the concert where music flared. You gathered acorns in the park in autumn and leaves eddied over the earth's scars. Praise the mutilated world and the gray feather a thrush lost, and the gentle light that strays and vanishes and returns.
