"Silent Snow, Secret Snow" by Conrad Aiken, relaxing storytelling
319 - Was this the autobiography of the author with a tragic childhood? "The thing was above all a secret, something to be preciously concealed from Mother and Father; and to that very fact it owed an enormous part of its deliciousness." Tuck in for this dazzling, dreamlike short story from the Pulitzer Prize-winning Poet Laureate, Conrad Aiken.

SUBTEXT: The Sublime Mundane in Conrad Aiken’s “Morning Song of Senlin”
Where the repetitions of ordinary life threaten to overwhelm any sense of the sublime, the poet Conrad Aiken seems to suggest that they can be transformed into a way of being connected to it. The mundane order is, after all, just a part of the cosmic. When we get ready to go to work, it is on a “swiftly tilting planet” that “bathes in a flame of space.” The sun is “far off in a shell of silence,” but its light decorates the walls of our homes.

The Aesthetics of Death in “Beetlejuice” (1988)
Adam and Barbara Maitland are dead, but their troubles have just begun. The farmhouse decor of their home is under threat from the pretentious modernism of Delia Deetze, and her plan to remake it in her own image could turn their post-life purgatory into earthbound hell. Solving this problem leaves them with an impossible choice between figuring out how to navigate an intractable netherworld bureaucracy, or seeking the help of a renegade demon whose perverse remedies are worse than what they’re supposed to cure. Their way out of this impasse involves teaming up with Delia’s step-daughter Lydia, whos...

A Strange Fashion of Forsaking in the Poetry of Thomas Wyatt (Part 1)
As an advisor to Henry VIII and ambassador to France and Italy, poet Thomas Wyatt was something of a professional court-surfer, practiced in riding the peaks and troughs of royal favor. Such were his verbal and diplomatic gifts that, though twice accused of and imprisoned for treason, he was twice released. His poetry reflects all the intrigue, paranoia, airlessness, and downright cruelty of the Tudor Court, where a misplaced word or an ill-timed look might see you not just out of favor, but a head shorter. In two of his most celebrated poems—which might draw upon the affair he...

Henry Graham belongs to the most exclusive clubs, dines regularly at the most lavish restaurants, drives a Ferrari, employs a butler, and owns something called a Montrazini—in short, he capitalizes fully on his inheritance, despite having little understanding of what “capital” actually is. The very ignorance of practicality that his wealth affords turns out to be his undoing, as soon finds that he’s run out of money and must bid goodbye to the high life—unless, that is, he can find a single, wealthy, isolated woman to marry and, for the sake of preserving his refined, hermetically-sealed existence...

“Two girls recording literature”: Re-listening to Caedmon recordings

Allow us to shed light on the enigmatic poem "The Vampire" by Conrad Aiken. Within its verses, Aiken delves into the depths of the human psyche, using the metaphor of a vampire to explore the haunting nature of repressed desires and psychological turmoil. As the struggle with a vampire-like figure serves as a compelling allegory for the inner demons that plague us all, inviting us to contemplate the darker aspects of our own consciousness. - Featuring Lady Spookaria as "The Vampire" https://www.youtube.com/@LadySpookaria - Written by Conrad Aiken

Episode 76 - THE HIGHGATE VAMPIRE
Episode 76 of MARS MESSINA PRESENTS conjures up a "true story" from North London, circa late 1960s-early 1970s. Neighbors walking in and around the Highgate Cemetary claimed to have witnessed a tall, dark spectral being who disappeared into thin air, hypnotized people, crawled out of graves, and killed animals. Dubbed "The Highgate Vampire" by the press and two prominent occultists, the spectre created a sensation around London, resulting in a riot at the cemetary: self-proclaimed "vampire hunters" descended on the sacred ground with homemade stakes, crucifixes and shovels...only to be chased out by "something crawling in the dark".
