Essential American Poets Podcast by Donald Hall

Offering a truly invaluable service, the Essential American Poets Podcast is both a historical time capsule and an educational tool for anyone interested in AmericaвЂ™s poetic tradition. Each short episode is dedicated to a single poet, offering biographical information at the top, and archived recordings of their poetry, usually recited by the poet directly. Profiles include Gertrude Stein, Elizabeth Bishop, Wallace Stevens, W.S. Merwin, Jane Kenyon, Carl Sandburg, and many more inspiring poets for you to discover. The poems selected for the podcast were picked by former poet Laureate of the United States Donald Hall and the podcast is being offered by The Poetry Foundation.
