Conor and Jack spend some wild time talking about Wild Nights by Emily Dickinson. They talk about the 2019 movie Wild Nights with Emily, Shakespeare's tragedies as death farces, and all the ways Emily Dickinson managed to be an intellectually engaged person of her time while remaining primarily at home.

Wild Nights - Wild Nights (269)

By: Emily Dickinson

Wild nights - Wild nights!

Were I with thee

Wild nights should be

Our luxury!

Futile - the winds -

To a Heart in port -

Done with the Compass -

Done with the Chart!

Rowing in Eden -

Ah - the Sea!

Might I but moor - tonight -

In thee!
