In this episode of One Sealed Letter, Kathryn Hastings returns to one of the podcast’s most beloved subjects: how to write a love letter.
Inspired by her own wedding anniversary, the extraordinary marriage of Dolly Parton and Carl Dean, and a passage from a 1901 letter by Rainer Maria Rilke, Kathryn explores a different vision of romantic love. Perhaps the deepest intimacy is not found in becoming one, but in learning to love another person completely while allowing them to remain wholly themselves.
From the strange intimacy of correspondence to the importance of attention, specificity, memory, and vulnerability, this episode considers what our letters can say that ordinary conversation often cannot.
And, most importantly, how to put that love onto the page.
