Find out why poets choose a particular poetic style, fancy or plain. And why the lines of a poem don’t reach the margins, and why it’s OK for your mind to wander while you’re reading poetry, and what’s the point of poetry anyway.
Each episode in Season 3 is just a single poem, with a few thoughts about that poem — like the background, why I wrote it, what I think it means, and so forth.
Maybe you’ll get some ideas about your own poetic style. Or ideas about your own life. Up to you!
