Collected Poetry

John Donne

John Donne marked a change in the audience for poetry, from exclusively aristocratic to the English upper and middle classes, aristocratic or not. His subjects were at once more metaphysical and earthier than preceding poets, and he created turns of phrase that we still use today. In this episode, Leigh, P. T., and Dr. C read a little Donne and discuss his fascinating life and works.
