Seamus Heaney, John Keats And What Ever Happened To Timbaland?

This week's show we keep it a little lighter, but I think in doing so we accidentally got a bit macho. Nightmare really. Especially that chat we have about what dog should you aspire to be. That was definitely a toxic conversation lol.Anyway! Poems this week about being sound, being brave, being aware, being alert to the way you show up in the world and we also have a poem about the naivety of human kindness thanks to James Tate's 'Good Time Jesus'.If you'd like to see this mess of a show in person, we will be at the International Literature Festival Dublin in Merrion Square on Saturday 16th May so see you there!International Literature Festival Dublin | The Poetry's Dead Podcast Live - International Literature Festival DublinPoems from the show:David Hynes - I Am Herehttps://www.instagram.com/hynestein1/Seamus Heaney - From The Republic Of Consciencehttps://www.rte.ie/radio/dramaonone/1349892-from-the-republic-of-conscience-by-seamus-heaneyJohn Keats - When I Have Fears That I May Cease To Behttps://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44488/when-i-have-fears-that-i-may-cease-to-beGood Time Jesus - James Tatehttps://poets.org/poem/goodtime-jesusCiara Ni E - A Different Animalhttps://www.instagram.com/miseciara/Music by Mathilde Lotti - Cumbia Del Amor Perdidohttps://www.instagram.com/matilde_lotti/Support the showOriginal music by Matthew Keating Artwork by Paddy DowneyIntroduction by Lisa DowneyProduced by Ryan Duggins
