\nAs a prelude to the next podcast series on Gardner Writes<\/em>, here’s a reading I did a couple of weeks ago of poetry by Andrew Marvell<\/a>. The reading was part of our UMW “Thursday Poems” series, a marvelous tradition begun by now-professor-emeritus Bill Kemp. The idea is to congregate at 5 p.m. on Thursday afternoons to hear someone read poetry for thirty minutes. No lectures, little explanatory material, just a time to share compelling poetry with each other. I recorded several of these “Thursday Poems” readings over the last couple of years and will be podcasting them by and by.
\n
\nMarvell’s a fascinating poet<\/a> whose lyrics are often cited as models of ambiguity, philosophical complexity, and stubborn elusiveness (perhaps to the point of evasion). I begin with his commendatory poem on Milton’s Paradise Lost<\/em>. (Marvell was a friend of Milton, and legend has it he helped spring Milton from prison at the Restoration, when Charles II put to death many supporters of his father’s execution.) I end with Marvell’s most famous poem, “To His Coy Mistress,” a poem that’s at once beautiful and savage.<\/p>\n

The reading:
\n“On Mr. Milton’s ‘Paradise Lost'”
\n“An Horatian Ode upon Cromwell’s Return from Ireland”
\n“The Garden”
\n“The Mower Against Gardens”
\n“Damon The Mower”
\n“To His Coy Mistress”<\/p>\n

I’m also posting the reading at our UMW “profcast” site, www.profcast.org<\/a>. There’ll be more readings and lectures there as time goes on. The first UMW Profcast features Claudia Emerson reading from her own poetry. Mine is a poor companion to Claudia’s, but the idea here is to keep the ball rolling, so that we’ll do.<\/p>\n
