What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I use these recordings as a way to pair a short break from my daily routine. Sometimes it inspires my own writing, sometimes it’s just a nice pause to reset my busy brain

MassachusettsMaggie · Jun 2022

What we need now in our world is more caring, thoughtful people. Poets are such people. By their nature they examine their (and by extension, our) inner lives, and with immense generosity they give us the benefit of their well-honed mindful insights, delivered in beautiful phrases and cadences. My only suggestion is, could you please make the entire archive available? I only learned of you recently and it seems I cannot have access to the first 161 episodes. Is there any way you can retrofit the library to make them available? Whether you can or not, I’m very grateful for what you’ve already provided! Please don’t stop!

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.

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.
