Here's the old description for "Mythopoeia":

This week, we have J.R.R. Tolkien's "Mythopoeia," read by Anika Smith!

You can find the text of the poem online if you want to read along, or you can buy this lovely book.

Music in the background is Lohengrin, by Richard Wagner.

Next week, we'll be back to discuss Tolkien's essay "On Fairy Stories," in which a part of "Mythopoeia" is quoted.
