Poetry! What is it good for?

16 Episodes

"Poetry! What is it good for?" podcast is different. In other poetry podcasts -- a poet reads and talks about her poetry. "PWIIGF" brings together two poets who appreciate each others work to engage in a lively conversation and poetry reading on a topic that fascinates them. Along the way we find that poetry is good for a lot -- mostly to keep us human.

Moderators Rebecca McKean and Alan Winson -- lovers of poetry -- and Chris Brandt -- a writer of poetry -- keep the conversation informal, critical and emotionally connected.

If you enjoy poetry and want to meet some amazing poets and people -- give PWIIGF a try.
