About this listen

 Poet Ellen Girardeau Kempler and I get into a very robust discussion about the differences between lyrics and poetry, and related topics, during this episode. Our conversation's point of departure is the controversy around Bob Dylan's 2016 Nobel Peace Prize for Literature. Ellen expounds her views on this very interesting topic in her essay, Tangled Up In Words.

Ellen also provides some fantastic advice for anyone who wants to enhance their ability to appreciate poetry or just advance in their writing journey by listening to the spoken word. Ellen includes among her recommendations Libro FM, Poetry Unbound, and The Slow Down.
