Podcast Notes
Season one of Rhyme & Reason is finished, but we wanted to share a few bonus episodes featuring some of Gerard Manley Hopkins’s most popular poems that weren’t covered in the main season. We’ve invited Andrew Peterson, songwriter, author, and founder of the Rabbit Room to read them. This is a reading of “Pied Beauty.”
Music from this episode was from EVOE and Maya Belsitzman & Matan Ephrat. Sound design and editing is by Nate Sheppard.
I taught this poem to middle schoolers (School of Logic in a classical school.) They loved the Youtube version by Allana Boudreau, which is the poem set to music. Simple and lovely.
Pied Beauty is my favorite of Hopkins’ poetry! I’ve been hoping you would share this. Loving this series on GMH. Thanks.
