A lively discussion about the current state of things in the technocratic world post covid with Rilke scholar, poet and tranlater, Daniel Polikoff.


Daniel has published eight books of poetry, translation, criticism, and creative non-fiction. At home in diverse fields and streams, his wide-ranging work draws upon world literature, depth psychology, anthroposophy, Neoplatonic philosophy, and other wellsprings of deep inspiration. He consistently aims to harmonize the spiritual and sensible dimensions of human nature by way of the middle term of all things: soul.
