Stories Fables Ghostly Tales Podcast

Welcome, welcome, you lovely souls. Today I have for you 10 poems, dry read, so that means no music, just my voice alone, narrating Isaac Rosenberg’s rich yet sad poems. They speak of war, death, creation, loss, and melancholy. Surely a set of poems to evoke emotion. Isaac wrote poetry about the trenches in World War 1, where he would be shot and killed. He was both a war poet and a painter, and wrote poems that questioned our humanity, and humans relationship with God, spirituality, and the grief brought upon by death. Although his time with us was short, his poetry lives on his collections, and also, this episode. Enjoy!
