  • Summary

  • This is a podcast devoted to reading and enjoying poetry from the classics to contemporary forms of the craft. We keep it brief with episodes that are rarely longer than a 15 minute run time. The aim is to inspire those who read and write poetry no matter what level of either (or both) they practice. The title is from one of Carl Sandburg's Definitions of Poetry: "34. Poetry is a phantom script telling how rainbows are made and why they go away." Presented by Vincent Hostak.
