PoemTalk has moved its program notes to Jacket2, here: jacket2.org. We continue to be co-sponsored by PennSound, the Kelly Writers House, the Center for Programs in Contemporary Writing at the University of Pennsylvania, and by the Poetry Foundation.
Sounds quite simple, doesn't it? There is no trick - it really is as straightforward as that. Place yourself in the shoes of the reader and answer the questions you would likely request or want answered about procustomwriting solution or support. Solution these queries plainly and completely and your Internet duplicate is full.

rss feed & ITunes
Get the RSS feed and keep up with every new PoemTalk episode. We're also available on ITunes.
For each episode of PoemTalk four friends and colleagues in the world of poetry and poetics convene to collaborate on a close (but not too close) reading of a single poem. We talk through and around the poem, sometimes beyond it, often disagreeing, always excited by what we discover as we talk, and perhaps after twenty-five minutes we've opened up the verse to a few new possibilities and have gained for a poem that interests us some new readers and listeners.
Listeners? Well, yes: all the PoemTalk poems are available in recordings made by the poets themselves as part of the PennSound archive.
Frank Sherlock
on Cid Corman in PT #23
Marcella Durand
talks about Charles Bernstein in PT#21 & Howe's Dickinson in #32.
Michelle Taransky
talks about Barbara Guest (PT#24) and Vachel Lindsay (#26)
We like to end PoemTalk with a minute or two of “Gathering Paradise” – a chance for several of us to spread wide our narrow hands to gather a little something really poetically good – to extol, hail, puff up, or commend someone, or something going on in the poetry world.
Here's a gathering of our gatherings:
[] We all praised Lorenzo Thomas's Don't Deny My Name: Words and Music and the Black Intellectual Tradition, esp. Aldon Nielsen who had the happy/unhappy task of editing it posthumously (PT #26).
[] Joe Milutis suggests we all check out the work Danny Snelson has been doing (PT #25).
[] Natalie Gerber commends the Dodge Poetry Festival and its new-ish YouTube channel (PT #24).
[] Frank Sherlock urges us all to read Joe Massey (PT #23).
[] Wystan Curnow wants us to look at jackbooks.com (PT #22).
[] Eli Goldblatt lauds the Philly scene, e.g. PhillySound (PT #21).
[] Alan Loney recommends Anne Carson's translation of Sappho (PT #20).
talks about Ashbery (PT9) and Corman (PT23) and Kit Robinson (PT29).
Nada Gordon
channels Wallace Stevens in PT#14 - and soon will appear on our show about Sharon Mesmer. Stay tuned!
island hopping
The evening after our session on Oppen's island poem (PT #3), Linh Dinh blogged about it, with Iceland - he'd just returned from Reykjavik - still on his mind, perhaps the ultimate in where am I really? island experiences. Here's Linh.
