About this listen

In this episode, the Dead Language Ladies quiz each other on ancient and modern female-written poetry to see if they can distinguish between 6th-century BCE poet Sappho (considered the 10th muse by Plato) and her surviving fragments and the 21st-century Canadian poet Rupi Kaur's trendy poetry. Due to their similar intimate style and female-centered experiences, this was not without its challenges. Tune in and try to guess along with them who wrote which lines--you might just be surprised by the answer.
