'IN MEMORY OF SIGMUND FREUD': A READING

Following up on my recent post in praise of W.H. Auden’s “In Memory of Sigmund Freud,” I’m happy to share with you a Zoom recording of my reading and teaching of the poem at the Society for the Advancement of Judaism (SAJ). Auden’s masterful handling of Alcaic meter makes his elegy on the death of the father of psychoanalysis a stirring poem to read aloud, so why not read along with me? It’s easy to do, since I’ve shared the poem onscreen during the recording. Also, why not virtually join in the discussion by writing in your comments below?
