- Strength to strength
Frank Skinner has finished another series in his poetry podcast and I can’t wait for the next. His enthusiasm continues undimmed. His taste is eclectic, ranging from household names from the canon to moderns less known or dimly remembered. I just bought a used collection of Mona Van Duyn after listening to Skinner’s moving discussion.

Frank, you are a real gem.
The choice of poet and poem is consistently interesting and the breaking down of the poem to explore its meaning is so enlightening.

Well worth a listen for anyone with even the remotest curiosity about poets and their work. Thank you.

Fell upon this podcast. Never taken an interest in poetry, but that’s totally changed now.
Thank you Frank. Love it.

There’s nothing showy about this show. Frank goes straight in fearlessly with his enthusiasms at full register which, (when you think about it) has to be unusual with discussions around poetry. Today’s episode on Wisława Szymborska was a real pick-me-up.

Inspiring show and very engaging. I enjoy the art and visualisation of peoetry, I don’t really want to analyse it to a degree or advanced level. Frank hits the spot and makes it very approachable and enjoyable.
