Send No Money

This week I take a look at the poem Send No Money by Philip Larkin. It's a poem that focuses on many of the narratives given to us by society, the ways in which they are present and how, quite often, they can cause us to take a passive role in our own lives.The show notes for today's episode, with full references can be found here: https://wordsthatburnpodcast.com/You can get in touch with me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wordsthatburnpodcast/The music in this weeks episode is Solace by Scott Buckley and is used under creative commons license.
