READ: Super-Infinite - The Transformations of John Donne (2022) by Katherine Rundell

Trying to find meaning is nothing new. Poet, preacher, contrarian and saucy sonnet writer - just the tip of the Donne iceberg

Surprisingly good was the consensus. Roland, ever the contrarian, didn’t like it. At all.

Nick 7.5 / Tristan 8 / Nigel 7 / Keith 8 / Roland 4 / Robin 7 / Hamish 7.5

 

LISTEN: Tavener Metaphysical: a short introduction to John Tavener playlist

Ethereal, celestial, spiritual, meditative, spine tingling, transports the listener - all liked it except Tristan

WATCH: Oppenheimer (2023) directed by Christopher Nolan
