The Poetry Space_

After listening to episode 86 “After Poems,” I have a greater appreciation for an editor’s thought processes, especially when encountering After Poems or poems inspired by. This episode is quite insightful and is a great help in providing clarity to giving credit to the poets and poems we borrow from, the importance of making it our own. The entire series is a goldmine.

Katie and Tim offer intelligent and thoughtful insight into the theory of poetry—as well as close readings and deep discussions. Highly recommend!

This podcast is a better introduction to form poems, their reputations, and how they operate in the community of poets writing in these forms NOW than if you were to buy and read a random textbook or only rely on basic Poetry Foundation descriptions and examples from like websites. If you haven’t attended formal poetry classes, save your money and start here!

So much great educational poetry content! Love learning from Katie and Tim and I especially love the depth of topic specific exploration. The guests add a very needed element of experiencing examples of poetry written on the theme! Big thanks!
