In this track, Anastasia, Isaac, and Sean talk about metaphor! We talk about the academic jargon (a "tenor" is the thing being described, the "vehicle" is the thing the tenor is being compared to). We talk about how poets use metaphor, how good metaphor makes our brain feel, and what happens when the vehicle makes us forget what was being described in the first place (THOSE BARE RUINED CHOIRS!). We read "The Thought-Fox" by Ted Hughes; "The Sea is History" by Derek Walcott; and Sonnet 73 by Shakespeare. (HUGHES: https://www.poetryarchive.org/poem/thought-fox)(WALCOTT: https://www.poets.org/poetsorg/poem/sea-history) (SHAKES: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/45099/sonnet-73-that-time-of-year-thou-mayst-in-me-behold)
