National Poetry Month

Coupla cool podcasts in honor of National Poetry Month:

  • PoetCast, from the Academy of American Poets. So far, there are a few poetry readings, and some poets talk about poems by others.

  • Knopf has expanded its Poem A Day project for this year's National Poetry Month: they're podcasting poems! They're also offering the more traditional poem which you can read online.

  • The Writer's Almanac is podcasting! Listen to Garrison Keillor provide literary & historical notes about the day, and hear him read a poem. Every day!

Ok, that's three podcasts. Poetic license, anyone?

(this is for Sydney ...)
