  • Summary

  • ‘I try to live my life as though I were stitching together a book of songs.’

    This week, Sally offers us a tour through the stitched-together songs of her life, reflecting on the form of rhapsody. Join her for a series of vignettes on art, education, memory, and connection.

    This text of this episode is based on an address Sally gave at Wadham College Chapel, part of an evening of ‘Taking Heart in Poetry & Song’ for St David's Day. More information can be found here.

    The full text of Dylan Thomas’ poem, ‘The force that through the green fuse drives the flower’, quoted early in the episode can be found here.

    The wonderful piano music in the opening and closing sections is, respectively, ‘Tuesday’ and ‘Saturday’ by Paul Sebastian.

    This episode was edited and produced by James Bowen.

    Special thanks to Andrew Smith, Violet Henderson, Kris Dyer, and Maeve Magnus.
