About this episode

In this episode, Mary Giudice discusses T.S. Eliot's 'East Coker' with guest Anna Danese, exploring deep themes of poetry and reflection.

I offer you "East Coker" by T.S. Eliot. This is the deep end, dear listeners! Come on in. The best part of creating this series was sitting down with others whose lives have been amended by going into that deep. Joining me at the mic this time is the bright, adventuresome, insightful Anna Danese. Enjoy. I said to my soul, be still, and let the dark come upon youWhich shall be the darkness of God. As, in a theatre,The lights are extinguished, for the scene to be changedWith a hollow rumble of wings, with a movement of darkness on darkness,And we know that the hills and the trees, the distant panoramaAnd the bold imposing façade are all being rolled away—
