  • Audio page turning…

    Upon listening to the trailer of the show, I couldn’t wait to crack open the first episode to hear what was in store, and 8 episodes later I found myself longing for more! What an experience.

  • Thinking through poems

    Rankine is an unusually sensitive reader of poetry, taking what is usually considered “shop” and inviting listeners to think of a poet’s work as thinking labor—a trade.

  • Good for poetry newbies and scholars alike

    This is a very kind and nonthreatening introduction to poetry for anyone who is interested but intimidated by poetry. The highlight of a contemporary poet makes the poems and content relevant.

    I like that in addition to speaking to the poets about their work and having them read one of their own poems, you also delve into their influences and have them read a poet who inspired them. This shows how truly timeless themes in poetry can be and again, is an inspired and compelling way to introduce m... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Lightning, Chance, and Magic
Q: You mention the idea of gifts in your writing process—can you elaborate on what that means for you?
Gifts in writing are moments when a line or image arrives fully formed or with enough clarity to commit to the page; it's about patience, listening to the page, and recognizing when a piece has found its own momentum.
Lightning, Chance, and Magic
Q: How has becoming a parent influenced your writing and your approach to time on the page?
Sleep patterns, interruptions, and the need to seize small pockets of productive time have sharpened focus and introduced a sense of stillness and dreaminess into my work, which in turn deepens the imagery and pacing.
Lightning, Chance, and Magic
Q: Is the sonnet form an important tool for you, or something you fall into naturally during revision?
I don't plan it, but if a poem starts to feel like it could become a sonnet, I push it that direction to see where the density and clarity can land, which often reveals the structure and rhythm more sharply.
The Language of Crystals
Q: What does the poem A Supermarket in California do for you, and why did you choose it as inspiration?
The guest describes how Ginsberg channels Whitman as a queer ancestor, turning a mundane space into a site of radical, playful queer desire and a meditation on loneliness and companionship.
The Language of Crystals
Q: So I guess I wanted to ask you about the time involved in writing poetry. Do you have any thoughts about why it took seven years?
The guest explains that poetry can be a slow art, with time spent absorbing obsessions (crystals, still life, language) and performing careful, patient research, contrasting this with the speed of modern communication.
