FLORILEGIUM - 25. Machines
In Episode 25, Antonia and Kate begin the year's ending and the new liturgical year's beginning by beginning at the end and working backwords. They discuss embodiment in place, geographical and historical map-making, whether Michael Donaghy has presented his dearest with a successful love poem or a clever failure, and land with a leap into the gospel reading for the First Sunday of Advent.
Music: a setting of the Coventry Carol by Sufjan Stevens and Marla Hansen
