The Strange Brew Of Love And Disgust: PURGATORIO, Cantos VI - VIII

In this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE, we'll read the three cantos that lead us up to the gate of Purgatory itself.

These are tough cantos! It's important to hear them before we break them apart to study them. Many a reader has been daunted by what's happening here before we finally get into Purgatory proper. Don't despair. We'll get down the flow (or lack thereof!) in these cantos before we start to study them more in depth.

Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:
