[teaser] American Canon: TS Eliot's "Tradition and Individual Talent"

Emmet and John talk about Eliot's essay on what it means for a writer to fit into a tradition. We talk about what that means for us, how we shape the past as we make our present, the confessional poets as a response to Eliot, and Borges on Kafka.
