Alexander Schmid Podcast

In this episode of Night School, Mr. Wes Schantz and I consider the American poet Emily Dickinson's "Come Slowly--Eden!" and "Arcturus". Specifically, we consider (a) transitions between religious and naturalistic uses of language and perceptions of reality, (b) Dickinson's use of structure and form to convey meaning, and (c) the relationship between scientific knowledge and the experience of meaning and its changing relationship in language and time. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/support
