  • Taylor Swift & Contemporary Poetry

    I am a new listener and I loved the episode! I am a Swiftie and through her music and the book Invisible Strings, I am rediscovering poetry and writing in a new a brilliant way! I especially got a kick out of the acknowledgment that as a Swiftie I would be pausing the episode with pen in hand! I had to laugh out loud as I was doing just that, covered in post-its! I look forward to listening to some more episodes!
