About this listen

This episode explores poems centred on fire, beginning with Anne Bradstreet’s account of losing her home and the way faith reshapes her grief into gratitude. Charlotte reflects on resilience, perspective, and how surprisingly accessible a seventeenth century poem can feel. The discussion then turns to G. F. Bradby’s The Fireside, where glowing embers spark memories, nursery rhymes, and half forgotten stories. Together, the poems reveal fire as both destruction and illumination, a force that burns, comforts, and brings imagination to life.
