You have heard of this poem - the epic tale of an old man and the sea, condemned to wander the Earth forever going on about his albatross. It is a staple of high school, and is considered to be beneath serious consideration, and fits the very definition of doggerel.
But did you know that this thrilling work kicked off the Romantic movement and spawned a thousand imitations (Gilligan's Island, anyone)? Your hosts, Phillip and David, real-life brothers, break down the history of this work and dive deep into its background and impact.
The Doggerel and Pony Show. We talk about poetry so you don't have to.
