Episode 128: Anahid Nersessian

Published: April 27, 2022, 7 a.m.

Anahid Nersessian is a professor and critic based in Los Angeles, CA. In her latest book, Keats\u2019s Odes: A Lover\u2019s Discourse, Anahid takes the reader through close readings of John Keats\u2019s six Great Odes, providing cultural context and explicating their themes of sexual violence, melancholy, and the seductiveness of beauty. More than that, though, the book is, itself, a love story. In our conversation, Anahid and I talked about how and why Keats\u2019s Odes still resonate with readers today, how personal narrative entered these essays, and how it functions in them. Then in the second segment, we talked about experimental critical writing. Subscribe:
