In this episode of The Doggerel and Pony Show, we welcome special guest Heather Tolleson to discuss a poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay - The Witch-Wife!
Short, eerie, and mysterious, the poem, picked by Heather for discussion, leads everyone into the wild world of Millay - a pioneer feminist, bohemian and social crusader. But, her reputation as a poet didn't impress some later poets, and that leads to a fascinating back-and-forth about how we judge artists and whether we can separate their lives from their work.
Listen in to our lively chat, and remember: we talk about poetry so you don't have to!
