  • "The Flea"

    "The Flea"
    Feb 1 2025

    Today, we'll turn our attention to the English renaissance as we explore a poem by one of our all-time favorite rogues/reverends, John Donne. Since it's more fun, we'll focus our attention on the rogue half, as we break down Donne's classic, lusty poetic argument, "The Flea." It's wild, wacky, and witty, so please, pull up a chair by the fire and let's get started!

    Special thanks to Head Librarians Jeff Seplak, Jesse Cunningham, and Jake Frounfelter!!!

  • Hamlet, Part 6

    Hamlet, Part 6
    Jun 1 2024

    Today, we finish our look at Shakespeare's Hamlet, one of, if not the, greatest plays of all time! But, does being great equal remaining relevant? Should we still read Hamlet? Well, pull up a chair by the fire and let's talk about that.

  • Hamlet, Part 5

    Hamlet, Part 5
    May 17 2024

    Today we look at Hamlet's soliloquy "How All Occasions Do Inform Against Me." He is finally done with all this waiting, all this inaction. He just needs one more little push. We have lots to talk about, so please, pull up a chair by the fire and let's talk some Hamlet.
