The Poetry Space_

The Poetry Space is a gem! Katie and Tim do a wonderful job making the world of poetry accessible and enjoyable. What an incredible mix of knowledge and curiosity and honesty and joy. I look forward to each new episode to learn about all things poetry. Their guests and contributors are always thoughtful and engaging. They’ve inspired me to try new things in my writing. Some of my recent favorites: the Chapbook episode was very sweet with them trading haibun reading and Rhina Espaillat’s episode was incredibly visceral and captivating. They’re all worth checking out.

Always a pleasure. The Billy Collins double feature was especially fun

This is an absolute delight! An engaging, fun poetry education no matter what your experience, for free! Yay, Katie and Tim!

Last night, I watched the imagist episode, and, so far, it is my favorite. I learned so much from this podcast, and now I am eager to see what I can do to make a single concrete image convey so many qualities. I also appreciate the podcast’s pointing out the serious faults Ezra Pound had, as well as his talent for writing magnificent poetry. It’s hard to comprehend how a person who had such great appreciation for beauty could also hold so much hatred for those who didn’t share his beliefs. Thanks also, Tim and Katie, for sending me back to school as an octogenarian—and with no exams!
