I love listening to them read the poems and then take a deep dive into SO many aspects of each poem - structure, sound, punctuation, line breaks.

“I’ve admired poetry but often felt locked out of its meaning — but this terrific podcast opens doors to poetry’s beauty. The two hosts are very knowledgeable and also great teachers — they walk us through one poem per episode, word by word and line by line, filled with enthusiasm. I’ve learned a...”Read full review »

“I just stumbled upon this podcast and listened to the episode on Leaves of Grass. Your guest’s stirring reading is reason enough for recommending this show — my God! But then you all proceed to unpack Whitman in a half hour of smart, heartfelt, humorous discussion. This is the work of “pros” with...”Read full review »

“Hands-down my favorite poetry podcast. Joanne and Abram offer a great variety of (short) classic and contemporary poems and make them more accessible, giving context and drawing out what the author is doing in each poem.
They read the poem once at the beginning and once at the end, and it’s...”Read full review »

“I wish I had these two as my English teachers in high school, college, and beyond. They make poetry come alive and off the page.
