Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bianca Stone on her Newest Collection, The Near & Distant World
Q: Where does the inspiration for your poems come from?
Bianca and Carson discuss how inspiration often feels like it comes from outside the self and can be received through different parts of the body.
Reading with Rilke: The Ninth Elegy, with Charles Dashings
Q: Do you think Rilke's perspective on death is ultimately a hopeful or despairing one?
Rilke seems to explore the relationship and to find meaning in the unity of life and death, suggesting a creative engagement with mortality rather than despair.
Reading with Rilke: The Ninth Elegy, with Charles Dashings
Q: What does Rilke's work mean for your understanding of existence?
Rilke's work explores the relationship between human consciousness and the interiority of things, suggesting a more dynamic interplay than simply our imposition of meaning onto the world.
Reading with Rilke: The Ninth Elegy, with Charles Dashings
Q: What are the immediate associations or connections you have between poetry and philosophy?
Both are approaching the question of what it means to be human by different means. The poet approaches it from a more individualistic standpoint, while the philosopher attempts a more objective perspective.
Reading with Rilke: The Ninth Elegy, with Charles Dashings
Q: How do you see poetry coming into your search for meaning?
My philosophical journey begins with similar thematic concerns that Rilke has, concerns with consciousness and what it means to be a human being.
