Reviews
- Wonderful Insight and Recommendations
For a long time I have enjoyed writing self-reflective prose and poetry, but I’ve never felt I’ve had the tools to write well. This podcast has given me some inspiration to continue writing and experimenting both in writing and in music. more

United Statesa year ago - Best poetry podcast
As a practicing poet, I have searched long and hard for podcasts that do in-depth analyses of the great works. Most just do snippets of readings, and many focus on contemporary free-versers with a political agenda who are, in the scheme of things, highly forgettable. Only a handful analyze works of the past, and this is the only one I’ve found that does multi-part episode series on longer works. Great for students, practitioners looking to better understand their craft, and general interest.

United Kingdom2 years ago - Excellent literature podcast
The tone of this podcast is marvellous for those seeking a rejuvenated approach to reading great poetry. Highly recommend if you a lover of Milton, Spenser, Coleridge or any of the pantheon of Great English poets.
Apple Podcasts5HaezzerUnited Kingdom3 years ago - Refreshing and engaging!
Every episode is a pleasure to listen to. Prof Cooper and his guests never fail to delight with their enthusiastic and insightful discussions. A refreshingly traditional approach that focuses on the beauty and construction of the text rather than endless -isms and “problematizing”. A relentlessly positive look at beautiful texts and their authors!
