Customer Reviews
Good, but not too good
Nice podcast, but at times it sounds like exactly what it is: poets in a closed room talking about poetry. I have listened to the podcast for several months, and found some of the readings are tight, and others drain the life blood from a poem ("I don't even accept my own reading, but I suppose I can accept hers"). Still one of the better podcasts on poetry.
MFA via podcast
Feels like listening to an MFA seminar. Cool resource that’s taught me lots and opened my perspective on familiar and new poems.
Something Imagined, not recalled.
Providing the original recordings of poets reading their work and the subsequent close readings provided by the podcast editors and guests gives me hope that poetry is not dead. Please keep up the great work. Thank you.
