In collaboration with Angela Cockayne, an artist on the faculty of Bath Spa University, and with the backing of the Arts Institute of the University of Plymouth, he has assembled a company of actors, singers, writers, scientists, naturalists, and one polar guide for an online reading of Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s “ Rime of the Ancient Mariner.” Following the pattern of the same team’s Big Read of Melville’s “ Moby-Dick,” in 2012, the Ancient Mariner Big Read pairs each participant’s recording with an art work and releases the readings one at a time, building up the poem at the rate of about sixteen lines a day. The British writer Philip Hoare, who as chronicles his predawn swims in Southampton Water year-round on Twitter-and makes his followers in the States shiver and feel like laggards, even if they get up at 6 A.M.-has done it again. The “Rime of the Ancient Mariner,” written in 1797-98, is harrowing and prescient, and suits the captive audience of the 2020 pandemic.
