Episode Synopsis

In the second episode of the series, Mark and Seamus turn to ‘Song of Myself’, for Mark 'one of the most exciting things literature has to offer'. They discuss the extraordinary physicality and exuberance of this seminal American poem, its relationship with urbanism, capitalism and sexuality, and its Johnny Appleseed-spirit, among many other things.
