12:50Now PlayingWhat is an ekphrastic poem? Today, we’ll be reading and analyzing one by the modernist poet WH Auden called “Musee des Beaux Arts.” What does Breughel have to do with Greek myths? And who is Auden anyway? We answer these questions and more during our analysis of Auden’s famous poem “Musée des Beaux Arts.”
Special thank you to composer Nathaniel Lindstrom for providing the track “Quartz Moth” for today’s sound effects.
