E13: We do it for Love, Sonnets from Tate Street and the Favorite Poem Project
Hi listeners!
We hope you’ve enjoyed the first 6 months of podcasts with us “In the Margins.” We’ve had some inspiring conversations with editors like Jeff Shotts from Graywolf Press, Crystal Simone Smith of Backbone Press, and Kevin Larimer, editor in chief of Poets & Writers Magazine. We’ve learned what it takes to get into a prestigious program like NC State’s Masters of Fine Arts in Creative writing from professors in poetry and fiction, Dorianne Laux and John Kessel. We’ve spoken with several poets and writers about their work, including breaking news about Therese Anne Fowler’s bestseller Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald and its adaptation into an Amazon TV series.
We’re so glad you’ve listened along with us, and we hope you will continue to share in our conversations as we forward with the show.
In fact, we’d like to bring to you an exciting endeavor that Tate Street has been working on diligently for the past several months. As part of our monthly episodes, we are thrilled to be airing documentaries from our work with the Favorite Poem Project.
For many of you, this might sound familiar. In Episode 6: Tate Street goes to AWP, we unveil the project, and then in Episode 9, we showcase Hayan Charara reading “Out, Out—“ by Robert Frost. These short, comfortable bursts of poetry are complemented by the reader’s personal connection to the poem. Some readers talk about the honesty of fear in parenthood, the watershed moment in which one realized that they could be a poet, the search for love across distance and boundaries of culture or space—these stories all take place in the Favorite Poem Project Documentaries that we will bring to you on “In the Margins.”
Don’t worry, our in-depth interviews will alternate with our FPP segments. Most of all, though, we are happy to be able to share a broad range of voices, experiences, and viewpoints through this partnership. We invite you to gather and share this podcast with your fellow writers, family, and friends.
Finally, Ray, the whole team of “In the Margins,” Tate Street, and I would like to thank you again for this incredible first six months! Keep writing!
