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.

Irony and Narrative Distance
Are writers responsible or accountable for what they write? What about readers for what we interpret? How a writer's use of narration can create irony.
Van Gogh – Immersive Exhibits – Episode 4
