Advice from William Wordsworth
b'
An episode from 3/29/23: Why should we continue to read the poetry of William Wordsworth? Tonight\\u2019s episode is devoted to Jonathan Bate\\u2019s biography, Radical Wordsworth: The Poet Who Changed the World, where he more than answers the question. For me, anyone who cares about poetry devoted to nature, introspection, and autobiography, can still learn the most from Wordsworth. And his concerns\\u2014the necessity of emotion and plain language in poetry, the belief that we have no greater story to tell than our own, and his love for the natural world\\u2014are as contemporary as anything on the news.
