Poetry Foundation President Robert Polito Introduces the PoetryNow Radio Series & Podcasts

In time for National Poetry Month (April), the Poetry Foundation and the WFMT Radio Network are offering PoetryNow, a series of 5-minute radio pieces that feature some of today’s most accomplished and innovative poets reading and sharing insights on new and as-yet unpublished poems. Whether you’re a poetry expert, or just curious about what is happening in poetry today, PoetryNow is an acoustically rich source for listening in on the writing process of living poets you know and for discovering new voices. The first season includes John Ashbery, Rae Armantrout, Frank Bidart, Eileen Myles, and many others.
