“Love the thoughtful close readings and the diversity of guests and poets. Only request would be that you read more women/nb poets! The male to female/nb writers quotient is pretty uneven.”

“For some reason, over the past month or so, this podcast keeps updating with 20 unplayed episodes. The problem is, there are no new episodes...all 20 are past episodes. So you have to go through and click "mark as played" on all of them. Big pain. Deleting.”

“I'm discovering that a poem is like a present that with the help of host Al Filreis and guests on Poem Talk to unwrap it, I can enjoy the unique gift inside. Listening to Poem Talk is opening up for me not only poems, but a greater awareness of language, and different perspectives on the world....”Read full review »

“The "close but not too close reading" descriptor that is used to open these podcasts is accurate. It is typically three folks chatting about what they like about a poem, its structure, word choices and some historical information about the author and the poem. Al Filreis does a good job of...”Read full review »

“I recommend this podcast most highly to teachers, students, writers, & lovers of poetry. The conversation is spirited and unscripted; the choice of poems is superb, running a gamut unmatched by most literary reviews. It's a rare thing to devote an entire conversation to a single poem these...”Read full review »

“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...”Read full review »

“Love that this podcast breaks down the thick wall between the sometimes-perceived "esoteric" poetry world and the everyday reader/listener. Poetry can be for everyone!
I also hope that these podcasts make for better poets. Nobody likes an under-read poet.”

“"A close...but not too close reading": perfect description. Panelists don't get so close to the poem that we can't see it, but they don't talk around the poem, either. Terrific podcast.”

“I was fortunate enough to attend an undergrad institution with small classes. My creative writing advisor would hold classes in his living room, a tray of coffee and tea in the middle. Each discussion harkens back to those days of learning about and interpreting poetry with others. It even...”Read full review »

“Well, I'm biased...but I'm very proud and happy that PoemTalk is finally launched. We are having fun with it. Next episode due out January 7, 2008. Then one new one after that every 3 weeks. Subsequent shows feature poems by Adrienne Rich, Allen Ginsberg singing Blake, Ted Berrigan, George Oppen,...”Read full review »
