Welcome to the first episode of Season Ten of the Bagley
Wright Lecture Series on Poetry podcast.
Season Ten is comprised of lectures written and delivered by
Srikanth Reddy during his tenure as a Bagley Wright Lecturer, in 2015.
Srikanth Reddy’s series of lectures consider a range of
questions concerning poetry and visual art, including theories of likeness, ekphrasis, and wonder.

Auden's poem “Musee des Beaux Arts” in relation to Peter Brueghel's painting “The Fall of Icarus,” and references a number of artworks.
