    Episode 2: Writing on Reading — Original Poetry + A Classic

    In this episode of Michelle Reads Poems, I read three original poems on the theme of reading and writing—Dear Poetry Book Inside Flap Writer, On Reading Frank Bidart After a Long Absence, and Poets Reading Poetry to Poets—followed by “Ozymandias” by Percy Bysshe Shelley. These poems take a lighter, more humorous look at the strange, self-referential world of poetry—reading it, writing it, and performing it for each other. Just me, in a quiet room, reading some poems. If you’d like to share your poetry for possible inclusion in a future episode, you can email me at: MichelleReadsPoems@gmail.com. You can find more of my writing at: MNAshley.com.

    Episode 1: Family — Original Poetry + A Classic

    In this first episode of Michelle Reads Poems, I read three original poems on the theme of family—Ophelia’s Opal, My Mother’s Attempted Slow Death by Refusing to Eat, and Easter Portrait—followed by “The Children’s Hour” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. A quiet, minimal poetry podcast—just voice, poems, and the complicated beauty of family. If you have poems you’d like me to read on a future episode, feel free to send them to: MichelleReadsPoems@gmail.com You can also find more of my writing at: MNAshley.com
