Episode description

It's a new year and a new Unhinged Rant!  We're returning to T. S. Eliot, looking at his poetry in The Cocktail Party vs. Four Quartets.  The cool thing is Eliot always sounds like Eliot.  The cooler thing is that Ralph Fiennes performed Four Quartets (a poetry cycle) on the English stage in 2021.  The weird thing is that Fiennes' works...and The Cocktail Party doesn't.  What's going on with poetry on-stage anyway?
