Lovely Podcast

My new favorite podcast on poetry. I even splurged on the secret show now. Fair and intelligent look at formal poetry. Includes both discussions and poem readings. Best episode so far is the one with Joshua Mehigan. Would love to hear more interviews with Gertrude Schnackenberg, A. E. Stallings, Adam Kirsch, William Logan, Geoffrey Brock or David Saint John.
