418 "Because I could not stop for Death" by Emily Dickinson

from The History of Literature · host Jacke Wilson / The Podglomerate

Because Jacke could not stop for the scheduled episode topics, a certain poem kindly stopped for him. Luckily it's one of the greatest poems of all time! It's by the 19th-century American genius Emily Dickinson, and it packs into seven short stanzas a journey through life, death, and the cosmos.
