With the occasional special guest, join the pair as they discover what it really takes to stay relevant in the public eye today. Whether that's the public appearances gone wrong, the brand campaigns we'd rather forget, or the reality TV that still haunts us - nothing is off the cards. Join Sam Thompson & Pete Wicks on their weekly quest for fame. Maybe you think classical music isn’t for you? Or you know a little and want to know more? Or perhaps it's been a lifetime love? Regardless, you definitely need to meet Joanna & The Maestro. Who was better: Mozart or Beethoven? Why do certain pieces of music make us feel a certain way? What do conductors actually do? They also discuss the great composers and symphonies, and the often-remarkable stories behind them, all delivered in Joanna and Stephen’s unique, engaging and affectionate way. Joanna is the enthusiastic amateur - asking the questions she’s always wanted to ask - and Stephen is The Maestro, providing the answers. On this, their new podcast, the pair welcome you into their home for a personal, fascinating and funny journey through a musical world. ![]() You probably know Joanna Lumley, but you may not be aware that her husband Stephen Barlow is a famed conductor, composer and musician - and the pair of them are passionate about classical music. Dove continues to develop this atmosphere straight through to the poem’s elegant ending.Joanna Lumley and her husband Stephen Barlow invite you into their home for a fascinating, funny journey into their shared love of music. This deft way with the line creates a dizzying atmosphere, which brings us back to the title and its implied feelings. My heart” is especially effective as the enjambment and line break here both end and start a sentence, but also imply another parallel, that of a heart being like a sky. ![]() This tension is broken by the following line “Anything can happen.” whose conceptual certainty is echoed in the use of a period to create an end stopped line.Ī similar push and pull occurs later in the lines: The enjambment of the above lines, with line breaks on “peeled” and “flares,” creates tension as image and simile develop. There is suggestion at work in Dove’s line break’s as well. The type of attention described here is sharp and visceral. This parallel implies subtle physical shifts, similar to one person becoming particularly aware of another. Dove takes the contextual framework of the title and aligns it right away with a variety of evocative images:įirst, the movements here of an “orange, peeled / and quartered” are said to flare “like a tulip on a wedgwood plate,” a parallel that works both on a visual and sensory level. The poem below, “Flirtation” by Rita Dove, is a good example of what I mean. Whether it’s a matter of word choice, how using the word “broken,” say, suggests its opposite, “fixed” or within the structure of a metaphor itself, the juxtaposition of two things bringing to mind a further connection, suggestion is one word for poetry’s ability to tap into language’s conspiratorial nature.
