Shakespeare: Four Soliloquies
Reading and Writing - A podcast by Michael Lavers
Benjamin and I delight in four of our favorite Shakespeare soliloquies. We talk about the genre of drama vs. the lyric, why Shakespeare's language hasn't really aged, the power of lists, the relationship between thinking and speaking, Shakespeare's "infinite variety," turns in poems, how to let your poems teach you, and what it would mean to write as if your life depended on it--literally.
