“I have always enjoyed reading poetry just for the beauty of it, but have often felt like I could be getting more out of what is being offered. The insights shared by Mr. Banks, and his modeling of poetry well read, have helped me to unlock a greater appreciation for this beautiful form of art and...”Read full review »

“Wandering in the all comment, no content of the podcast sea… stumbling thru the disturbing, bazaar, & shallow visions gathered from time tested words of beauty.. Thank you for restoring my hope of well read poetry… sharing an honest reflection but leaving it with time open for the listeners...”Read full review »

“Thank you, Mr. Banks, for starting this podcast. I recently started reading poetry again, found out about this podcast, and am now thoroughly enjoying a few quiet moments to listen when you post! Sometimes I need to listen more than once to capture the beauty of the words. So glad you put time...”Read full review »

“I’m a big fan of anything LitLife does. This just has what feels like a disproportionate amount of intro and outro (3 min) to content (5-7 min). Maybe do the whole Angelina stuff at the beginning of a new season rather than every single episode?”

“I used to enjoy poetry very much in high school and lost my interest during busy life of parenting little ones. But lately I’ve been desiring for some more poetry in my life again and I picked up Tennyson, since I’ve never read anything of his before, and found it absolutely awful. I thought,...”Read full review »
