The latest episode of The Poet Speaks, where I talk about storytelling with examples from James Joyce, Thomas Hardy, John Hawkes, Geoffrey Hill, and William Trevor. 

James Joyce's 1906 letter to his brother can be found here.

Thomas Hardy's short story, "On the Western Circuit," can be found here.

The two volumes of William Trevor's short stories can be found here and here. 

The short story collection of mine that I mention during the episode is called The Lonely Young & the Lonely Old. 

Any comments, or suggestions for readings I should make in later episodes, can be emailed to [email protected].

I assume that the small amount of work presented in each episode constitutes fair use. Publishers, authors, or other copyright holders who would prefer to not have their work presented here can also email me at [email protected], and I will remove the episode immediately.
