The Unruly Muse

Landscape: Real & Imagined

Episode Summary

John and Lynn travel down the deep roots of LANDSCAPE to find perspective: Why are some scapes so evocative? Is it stronger in the memory or in the ‘real’? How does it ground key moments of our lives and shape our dreams, and sometimes, nightmares?
