Episode 28: Part 1 of "The Wasteland" by T.S. Eliot

April is the cruelest month! It's also National Poetry Month! Today we read part 1 of "The Wasteland" by T.S. Eliot, "The Burial of the Dead." We enter into a barren poem of confusing imagery and try to conjure meaning from it. We end up finding "The Son of Man" and all the implications of that.
