Customer Reviews
Thoughtful & Delightful
I’m a new listener, but I’m especially loving the Poetry Corner. The host does an excellent job illuminating how vital the tradition is to our understanding of things—not just of poetry, but if the world. It’s a delight to hear poetry read aloud well and discussed with wisdom and a humble knowledge of where we sit today in the scheme of history and of creation.
