Joe Safdie brings his lifetime of experience with writing poems to a brief history lesson about the muses and how they might still inspire us. Recalling the epic storytellers of the oral tradition, who had to memorize vast stretches of material for their performances, he
explains how memorizing poems – from Shakespeare, William Carlos Williams, Dylan Thomas and William Butler Yeats – can still produce benefits today, countering the immense assaults on memory we experience by depending too much on our current digital technologies.
