Today's flash briefing poetry reading is T. S. Eliot's famous, "Journey of the Magi," this time read by Patrick Milian. Links below to T. S. Eliot himself reading it, but stay tuned for the upcoming "Patrick and Pop Culture: A 1994 Holiday" episode. We put Mariah Carey and T. S. Eliot in conversation, explore metaphors and metonym in both music theory and poetry, and make a case for anti-fascist reading practices -- all while making a gingerbread house! We read this one poem two very, very different ways, so enjoy the unexpected coalition that emerges.
