Get your Recommended Daily Allowance of Poetry
This podcast, featuring poems by poets both living and dead, is well worth subscribing to. The host, Curtis Fox, has a knack for getting to the heart of a poem, yet is never heavy-handed or didactic in his interpretations. Also well worth hearing are the poets discussing their own work. Although the short duration of each episode obviously limits the scope of the poets' comments, they lead the listener to insights that they would likely have missed simply by reading the poems on the printed page. The featured readers (Alfred Molina and Paul Giamatti, to name two), also do a fine job with the poems they offer up. All in all, nice work, and an excellent way to work a few minutes of art into each day.Read full review »

an emulsion of wonderin’ and aplomb an experience so ingenious so igneous and beautiful it flows from the open, bountiful and scienceless trachea that links the world outside to the passionate magmas (thank you) in us

Podcast is informative and interesting. Love when they get the poets on to explain things. Host does a great job of asking them questions to help clarify poet's intent. Can't give it five stars though until they get rid of that extremely annoying cellphone ring masquerading as intro music.Read full review »
