New American Mythos

Interlude 3: Theme Spotlight "Exile & Longing Theme - Exile shapes hope; longing directs destiny"

Michael Belch

What does it mean to be cast adrift, and still sing of home? In this thematic spotlight, we delve into the deep ache of exile in Old English poetry, where the soul’s longing becomes a compass through ruin and winter. Featuring previews of The Seafarer and The Wanderer, this interlude explores how early Christian poets transformed sorrow into hope, and how the language of loss shaped the spiritual memory of the West.
