    I miss this show!
    Hearing poets read their work in their own voice is so wonderful. I’ve been introduced to so many wonderful poems. One of my favorite audio series.

    Great Way to Start the Week
    Poetry Magazine is the gold standard poetry publication in the US. They produce numerous podcasts. I do recommend their flagship podcast, Poetry Off the Shelf, in which they discuss and read works from the magazine every other week. However, these days the one I am really enjoying most is Poetry Now, which is a short (usually less than 5 minutes) episode every Monday in which the actual poet discusses his or her work and then reads it aloud. I have discovered some amazing poets, and it's a great way to start the week.
