In this episode of Elixir, Helen is talking to Martyn about [i carry your heart with me(i carry it in] by e.e. cummings (1894–1962).
They discuss:
- The portability of love e.e. cummings conveys in the poem
- Otherness due to being an immigrant, or minority in a country - an experience Martyn shares with his wife.
- Being rooted in a place through one’s love & relationship.
- Assimilation & acculturation and one’s sense of self living in a foreign country.
- Cummings’s experience in WW1
On the second reading of the poem the producer adds an original musical soundtrack.
