Join us as we find and lose meaning across modern and classic tales, through ancient and distant verse, atop everything in our many cultures which might be read. Explore familiar and unfamiliar reads, discovering ways to read, ways to know, and ways to make meaning. For teachers, students, and lovers of literature, Waywords can be listened to on its own but also comes with a host of bonus materials on its website for those who wish to go further. I can’t promise what we’ll find along our paths each time, only that we will meet it together.

WayPoint: Christina Rossetti’s “Goblin Market”
22 October 2021
WayPoint - Christina Rossetti’s “Goblin Market”
A reading of “Goblin Market” along with some thinking on Chopin and the forthcoming episode on “Fowls in the Frith.” Does Rossetti’s poem offer a way in to Chopin’s question of ‘freedom from’ men? What can we say of her assertion that this tale “does not mean anything profound”?
