Classics and Poetry Now
by Justine McConnell
Classics and Poetry Now is a series of occasional podcasts that have developed out of a research network of the same name. The network is made up of scholars and creative artists with a shared interest in the ancient Mediterranean and its persistent and varying resonances in the modern world. Together, we explore the ways in which the myths, literature, and cultures of ancient Greece and Rome are refigured in poetic works of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.Artwork: © Thom Cuschieri
