Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales and T.S. Eliot’s The Waste-Land both take place in April, as does William Shakespeare's birthday. But April 1st is also April Fool’s Day, so today we'll read some poetry that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Or perhaps, like the fools in Shakespeare’s comedies, these poems mix some shrewd observations into their silliness.

We'll compare Edgar Allan Poe's "A Dream within a Dream" and Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "The Pains of Sleep" to help us distinguish an anxiety dream from a nightmare. We'll use the opening lines of Endymion by John Keats to explore a strategy for restoring calm after a stressful experience, and we'll end with Susan Coolidge's advice in "New Every Morning" for making each day a new beginning, even after a bad night. Wishing you all a Happy National Poetry Month, and sweet dreams!

In Season 2, our motto for January is "Normal Plus," borrowed from Sophie Kinsella's novel What Does It Feel Like? This thinly fictionalized novel recounts Kinsella's own battle with brain cancer; instead of a bucket list, the heroine adopts a strategy of "normal plus," upgrading her ordinary routine to include more small pleasures. We'll do the same in the New Year, taking lessons for small changes from our reading list.

I share my personal history with Anne Frank, some provocative ideas from Sullivan's book, and one surprising connection to Jane Austen. I also take this opportunity to remember theater director and educator Yatesy Harvey and playwright Tom Stoppard. Coming up: Jane Austen's birthday celebration!


If you've enjoyed this podcast, please subscribe, leave a review, and share the link with your friends. Don't keep Literative a secret!


P.S. After finishing this episode, I learned there's some controversy about the conclusion of Sullivan's book, her identification of a single betrayer, and the "sensationalization" of history. I want to finish the book myself before commenting on the criticisms, but I find great value in what I've read so far of The Betrayal of Anne Frank.
