Poetry as Play: The V's Verses Special, Volume II Between The Stacks

In this special episode celebrating host Victoria Horn's one-year anniversary of producing "Between the Stacks," it's the V's Verses Special, Volume II! Once again, Victoria pulls out all the stops to demystify the poetry genre and help you get the jitters out so that you, too, can confidently approach poetry as a reader and a writer. Victoria discusses Kwame Alexander's How to Write a Poem; reads and breaks down several of the original poems she wrote during National Poetry Month; and brings you the voices of three fantastic poets: @oliviasnowdrop, Kelly Pitt @blushing_poetry, and Bri Mullaney @briwrites26.
