Poetry For All

In this podcast, poetry leaps from the page in accessible ways. Award-winning teachers introduce listeners to poems that transform, enliven, challenge, and enrich our lives.

The hosts teach out of wonder and appreciation. Each episode introduces a poem and shows how it works. The hosts come from very different interests and worlds, but in each fun discussion they learn from one another and open the world of poetry for anyone who wants to explore.

“Poems are not finished until we read them. They crave conversation. They call for community. They live in the breath of each new reader and come alive in the exchanges they create.”

Poetry often presents itself as a solitary exercise—a single writer and a single reader—but it actually reaches for response. Every poem engages in dialogue with other poets, and every reader joins the conversation. A podcast is the perfect way to experience poetry.
