Episode 23 - Coffee
In this week’s episode, Charlotte explores the theme of coffee and what it represents in poetry. Moving away from poetic devices and into broader themes, she looks at how something as simple as a morning cup can hold deeper meaning.
She discusses Prose Poem by Ron Padgett, where coffee becomes a quiet ritual between sleep and wakefulness, before the poem takes a surprising and darker turn. She also explores Breakfast by Jacques Prévert, a poem in which the careful preparation of coffee highlights emotional distance and unspoken sadness.
From meditation to loneliness, this episode reflects on how everyday moments can carry powerful emotional weight. Next week’s theme will be aliens.
