Merry Christmas!! It&#39;s the last episode of season 1! I talk Shelley, the most well known poet of the Romantic era, and for good reason. Then, Robert Kokott talks with me about the poets he loves and reads every day, and how poetry can help us get in touch with ourselves.

Episode 5 - Percy Shelley

Coleridge is the most underrated of Romantic poets, but that&#39;s not to say he&#39;s not worth reading. Published poet Jacob Saenz talks to me about his work, and why he believes it&#39;s important to read poetry.

Episode 4 - Samuel Taylor Coleridge

This episode, I&#39;m taking a look at William Blake, the oldest and probably the oddest of the Romantics. Then I chat with a friend and music history buff about how Blake has inspired musicians.

Let&#39;s dig into the life of Lord Byron, the most prolific of the Romantic poets. Also, I catch up with an old friend to talk about her poetry.

Episode 2 - Lord Byron

The first episode of Life Distilled looks at John Keats, who is considered the greatest English poet. I also talk to a scholar of Ancient Greek and Roman life about where Keats got his inspiration.
