  • So Enjoyable, So Informative

    The Traci Brimhall episode was so heartwarming. I loved the rapport between Kevin and Traci. The exploration of poetry as an art form was fascinating. I agree that reading poetry needs to be an immersive experience and legitimately can create a sense of mystery. Thank you

  • Poetry as political statement

    I am incredibly distracted by the need of poets to be focused primarily on the blackness or the queerness of their “work”. They focus on their uniqueness which is not universal, but is often mediocre art.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Traci Brimhall Reads Thomas Lux
Q: How do you think the ending of your poem Love Poem Without a Drop of Hyperbole in It works?
I know I used the two forbidden words in that last line, if we're not supposed to say always and never.
Traci Brimhall Reads Thomas Lux
Q: What is it about the poem Refrigerator, 1957 that struck you?
I was thinking about that idea of like, what are my sort of totemic poems or the poems that I used to wallpaper my New York apartment with.
Henri Cole Reads Louise Glück
Q: Will you tell us a little bit about the rest of The Other Love, the rest of the book?
The last part of the book is a kind of homage section with poems of homage to Heaney and Merrill, and a conversation with Eliot.
Henri Cole Reads Louise Glück
Q: How do you think of those different voices that come into this poem?
The poem conflates both the pure lyric voice and a public dimension, which is one of the functions of the lyric poem.
Henri Cole Reads Louise Glück
Q: What was it about this particular poem that caught your attention when you were looking through the anthology?
I was impressed that this poem seems to track between the present memory and dreamscape, and I find it sentence by sentence, a perfectly accessible poem, but then in a total way, kind of difficult.
