Poetry with Barbara Ras Love What You Love
-
- Society & Culture
So you know that I love the poem “You Can’t Have It All” by poet Barbara Ras. In fact I love it so much, I asked her permission to read it on episode 24, and she also gave me permission to release that reading as a standalone recording, which you can also find in this podcast feed.
Well. Of course I also had to get her on the show!
Barbara has an MFA in Creative Writing from University of Oregon, and multiple fellowships, including the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation, among others.
Her poems have appeared in the New Yorker, Tin House, Granta, and Orion, as well as other magazines and anthologies, and she has released four collections of poetry: Bite Every Sorrow (LSU Press, 1998), One Hidden Stuff (2006), The Last Skin (2010), and The Blues of Heaven (2021) just released on March 9.
As you might imagine, it was a treat for me to chat with Barbara. We talk poetry as dance; rhythms as close as your heart; poetry in translation; Amanda Gorman; busting myths about poetry; and so much more
So find out why Barbara loves poetry - and why you might learn to love it, too.
You can purchase Barbara's new collection, The Blues of Heaven, anywhere you get books.
