15. Form Follows Function - "My Own Heart" by Gerard Manley Hopkins

We'll be looking at a poem I revisit often. It has stuck with me through the years, and still to this day delivers. I quote it all the time. It's a poem that will enrich your life -- but poetically speaking, it's a good introduction to poetic form(s) because many of Hopkins' works have a kind of congruence and synchronicity between the content and the form. It's My Own Heart Let Me More Have Pity On.

NOTE: This episode was recorded on different equipment than usual. Let me know if you love it or hate it.
