Poetry read aloud by those who write it and love it. Each episode features a new guest poet and a lively discussion about how poems connect us and how they talk among themselves. We read two poems by our guest and one by a poet whose work they admire. David J. Bauman, your host, reads the first poem.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Unrivered In Three Poems with Donna Vorreyer
Q: What role does walking and place play in the poems read today?
Walking through spaces like the Forest Preserve becomes a living setting for mortality and resilience, grounding the poems in the physical world while exploring inner change and the way daily acts sustain us.
Civilians and the Wounded Line, Poetry with Jehanne Dubrow
Q: What role does your craft book The Wounded Line play in your teaching and writing process?
The Wounded Line offers practical, publishable techniques for writing about trauma, including fixed forms and hybridity, with exercises that help writers approach difficult material without becoming overwhelmed.
Civilians and the Wounded Line, Poetry with Jehanne Dubrow
Q: Why did you choose to use a Villanelle for the title poem, and how does form shape the trauma you're conveying?
The Villanelle provides a structured, repetitive frame that can echo the persistence of trauma, while allowing for deliberate shifts in pronouns and meaning to show ownership and evolving perspective within the same tight form.
Civilians and the Wounded Line, Poetry with Jehanne Dubrow
Q: Tell us a little more about Civilians and how it connects to your earlier books in the trilogy.
Civilians continues the exploration of what happens when life moves from military life and uniforms to civilian identity, building on Stateside and Dots & Dashes by examining transformation, memory, and the limits of civilian self-definition.
Choreopoems and Womanhood, with Monica Prince
Q: How does lipogram form influence your handling of taboo or traumatic subjects?
The form pushes me to confront what I'm avoiding directly, which often makes the poem more powerful because the absence of a letter or word becomes a deliberate, embodied absence that mirrors the subject's gravity.
