Episode cover
In 2024, Harvard University offered a course on Taylor Swift. It was popular, to say the least. That course was taught by a professor and literary critic named Stephanie Burt. In The New Yorker, Burt has written seriously about comics and science fiction, but she’s also considered great poets such as Seamus Heaney and Mary Oliver. Now, Burt has put together an anthology titled, “Super Gay Poems.” It’s a collection of L.G.B.T.Q. poetry, whose contents begin after the Stonewall uprising, in 1969. When describing the collection, Burt tells the New Yorker Radio Hour producer Jeffrey Masters, “ There are poems where we read it and we say, Wow, that’s me. And there are poems where we read it and we say, Wow, I didn’t know that can happen; that’s not me; that’s new to me; that’s different. And there are poems where we read them and we just say, That’s beautiful. That is elegant. That is funny. That is sexy. That is hot. That is so sad that I don’t know why I like it, but I do. And I like making those experiences available to readers.”

He might be the greatest writer about love that the world has ever known. But as is so often the case with Shakespeare, the biographical record raises as many questions as it answers. How often did Shakespeare fall in love, and with whom, and what happened? Who was Shakespeare's greatest love? In this episode, Jacke talks to David Medina about his book Shakespeare's Greatest Love, which argues that the answer has long been hiding in plain sight.

آتوسا افشین‌نوید در دانشگاه شریف رشتهٔ فیزیک قبول شد، اما در همان مراسم معارفه متوجه شد که این چیزی نبوده که دنبالش می‌گشته. به صورت شخصی مطالعاتش را در حوزهٔ فلسفه ادامه داد اما بعدش فهمید چیزی که دنبالش می‌گردد ادبیات و نویسندگی است. به مرور بعد از ۱۰ سال تجربه‌های مختلف هویتش را از کسی که فیزیک خوانده به نویسنده تغییر داد. علاوه بر نوشتن کتاب‌هایی مثل کتاب‌های گچ و چای سرد شده و بازگشت ماهی‌های پرنده دوره‌های مختلفی برای نویسندگی برگزار کرده، دوره‌هایی مثل نوشتن درمانی و دغدغه‌نویسی.  با آتوسا از ادبیات و نویسندگی حرف زدیم و همین‌طور دوره‌های نوشتن درمانی و دغدغه‌نویسی. حمایت مالی از پادکست کتابگردتهیهٔ آنلاین گفت‌وشنود از سایت بازیستحامی این قسمت پخش گسترش: سایتکانال تلگرام آتوسا افشین‌نوید-------------------------کانال تلگرام پادکست کتابگرد اینستاگرام پادکست کتابگرد  آدرس ایمیل: ketabgardpodcast@gmail.com-------------------------پیشنهادهای آتوسا افشین‌نوید کتابی که دوست دارید را چند بار در بازه‌های زمانی مختلف بخوانیدگذراندن لحظه‌هایی را در سکوت و فکر کردننوشتنکتاب‌هایی که برای هدیه پیشنهاد داده شدسارق چیزهای بی‌ارزش: پیام ناصرفقط روزهایی که می‌نویسم: آرتور کریستالزندان‌هایی که در آن زندگی می‌کنیم: دوریس لیسنگبقیهٔ کتاب‌هاجنایت و مکافات: داستایوفسکیاین است مذهب من: گاندیزندگی گالیله: برشتبازگشت ماهی‌های پرنده: آتوسا افشین نویدگچ و چای سرد شده: آتوسا افشین‌نویدیهودای دیگر مسیحای دیگر: گراهام گرین Hosted on Acast.
