Experience Poetry with On Being Podcasts
Poetry, Audre Lorde tells us, names “the nameless so it can be thought.” On Being features poets across our media and public life offerings because poetry, for all its craft, is more than a craft. It is a necessary art. Poetry speaks to the way we could be. Poetry doesn’t have a single purpose, but it might help us live with purpose.
In interviews with poets, recorded readings with poets, episodes of Poetry Unbound, and discussions about poetry’s contribution to the common good, we are delighted to offer you our ever-expanding archive of poets and their work. Listen, savor, and flourish.
“Poetry is a vast ocean with many shores …start where you are and read what you want.”
