Versify - Poetry and English Literature

We blunder our way through our first ever poet in translation with predictably confused results. Our victim this time is revered Austrian poet Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926). Poems: Evening The Panther Archaic Torso of Apollo 

We discuss the life and poetry of Maya Angelou (1928-2014). 

We tackle one of the almighty greats of English poetry with predictably sketchy results. 'Reading King Lear', and odes on 'Melancholy' and 'A Grecian Urn' befuddle us plenty.
