“The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe, but make it gender-inclusive.
Surprise! Because our first episode is so different from what we’ll be sharing on a weekly basis, we’re dropping episode 2 today for an early taste of Liminal Flares proper.
The very first time I amended a piece of literature to make its language gender-inclusive, I used Poe’s legendary poem about a grieving lover whose suffering is steadily exacerbated by a vexatiously laconic corvid visitor. So what better place to kick things off than where I began doing this purely for myself?
Also in this episode: after reading “The Raven” I take a few minutes to draw back the curtain and share precisely how I edited the poem to make the language gender neutral.
This is not something I plan to do for every episode. But I thought some listeners might appreciate an illustration of the specific sorts of grammatical changes that I make in the short stories and poetry read on this podcast.
Thank you for listening! If you enjoy what we’re doing, please support the show by rating and reviewing it on your preferred podcast platform, and share Liminal Flares with your friends.
New episodes every Thursday.
