Audio Poem of the Day - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Poem a day offers a range of poetry I would not have read on my own. It has opened new worlds and introduced me to some wonderful poets. My imagination is stirred. Thanks for a stimulating experience.

I recently subscribed to this podcast, and while the poetry itself is quite good, the readers need to lighten up! The last 3 episodes sounded very depressing to the point I almost unsubscribed. However, the poems are beautifully written and I will continue to listen and hold out hope for some more up-beat voices.

Good selection and usually well-performed, but it would be so nice if they put a link to the text (when available) on the website. Often I'll want to review the text, but have to google, which winds up directing me to the podcast's very website.

The importance of this project cannot be overstated. Poets are the protectors and purveyors of history. But the future is represented here too. All we have to do is let the voices in.

My only suggestion: provide more recordings of works read by the author wherever possible. Robert Lowell, for example, had a distinct reading style which I personally believe adds to the experience of his poems.

Thank you for all you do to bring us poetry.
