Podcasts about Poetry

Today's poem is At the End of a Good Week, the Van Broke Down by Mary Ardery. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “Poetry, instead of asking questions like How did I get here? or What should I do? often deals more with the senses. Questions like What did it look like? How does it sound, taste, feel? Questions that ask us to witness. Much of the advice we receive assumes we have a level of control. But life doesn't always work like that. We're so often rolling with the punches, trying to hold our sorrows, or, to wring out a little pleasure and joy along the way.” This show is supported by gifts from listeners.

Do you like to read poetry? When was the last time you heard someone recite a poem? Some people may just think of poetry as something they studied at school, but for many people it has a powerful presence in their lives. Poetry can help you connect with others, come to terms with personal emotions, or even spread the word about important global events. If you think poetry is not for you, perhaps you just haven't found the right poem yet! Neil and Pippa discuss this and teach you some new vocabulary.Listen to natural English conversations with Real Easy English: https://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/features/real-easy-englishLearn English from the news: https://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/features/learning-english-from-the-news_2026Get a free worksheet, quiz and transcript for this episode: https://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/features/6-minute-english_2026/ep-260604

The poetry of Matt Sedillo [https://www.mattsedillopoetry.com/about] -- a fearless, challenging and at times even confrontational blend of humor, history and political theory -- is at times a shot in the arm of pure revolutionary adrenaline. It also acts as a sobering call for the fundamental restructuring of society in the interest of people not profits. Passionate, analytical, humorous and above all sincere, Matt's poetry revolution is a clarion call for those who know a new world is not only possible but inevitable.​ Matt Sedillo, who appeared in this interview from 2022, has been described in ROAR Magazine as “one of the most important working-class intellectuals of our time.” In this encore presentation, Matt discusses his book, City on the Second Floor, published by Flowersong Press [https://www.flowersongpress.com/home]. He is a Poet and Writer in Residence at Re Arte and also author of 'Mowing Leaves of Grass'. Author Paul Ortiz wrote "Matt Sedillo's poetic work is full of history, struggle, tragedy, anger, joy, despair, possibility and faith in the struggles of working class people to overcome the forces of capitalism and racism.” Matt Sedillo also has been called the "best political poet in America" as well as "the poet laureate of the struggle" by academics, poets, and journalists alike. He has appeared on CSPAN and has been featured in the Los Angeles Times, among other publications.

By the middle of the twentieth century, Robert Frost was widely regarded as America's most popular poet, beloved for the simple, sincere verses that took readers on journeys through the wooded roads of rural New England, accompanied by Frost's wry observations and hardscrabble truths. Just a few years after Frost's death, a scathing biography by Lawrance Thompson painted a different picture of the man, which led critic Helen Vendler to ask, in her review of the biography, whether it was possible to avoid the conclusion that Frost had actually been a "monster." In this episode, Jacke talks to critic and author Adam Plunkett about his new book, Love and Need: The Life of Robert Frost's Poetry, a major new biography that challenges our understanding of Frost's life and poetic legacy. PLUS Ursula Buchan (Beyond the Thirty-Nine Steps: A Life of John Buchan) stops by to discuss her choice for the last book she will ever read. The music in this episode is by Gabriel Ruiz-Bernal.

The book resulted from Wojnarowicz's meetings with Lotringer; they'd arranged to meet In February 1991 to conduct a long-awaited dialogue on Wojnarowicz's work. Wojnarowicz was then at the peak of his notoriety as the fiercest antagonist of morals crusader Senator Jesse Helms–a notoriety that Wojnarowicz alternately embraced and rejected. Already suffering the last stages of AIDS, David saw his dialogue with Lotringer as a chance to set the record straight on his aspirations, his personal history, and his political views. Check out this video of Wojnarowicz reading "All I Can Feel Is the Pressure"

II    Soon after the earth (yahne) was made, men and grasshoppers came to the surface through a long passageway that led from a large cavern, in the interior of the earth, to the summit of a high hill, Nan' chaha. There, deep down in the earth, in the great cavern, man and the grasshoppers had been created by Aba, the Great Spirit, having been formed of the yellow clay.    For a time the men and the grasshoppers continued to reach the surface together, and as they emerged from the long passageway they would scatter in all directions, some going north, others south, east, or west.    But at last the mother of the grasshoppers who had remained in the cavern was killed by the men and as a consequence there were no more grasshoppers to reach the surface, and ever after those that lived on the earth were known to the Choctaw as eske ilay, or 'mother dead.' However, men continued to reach the surface of the earth through the long passageway that led to the summit of Nan' chaha, and, as they moved about from place to place, they trampled upon many grasshoppers in the high grass, killing many and hurting others.    The grasshoppers became alarmed as they feared that all would be killed if men became more numerous and continued to come from the cavern in the earth. They spoke to Aba, who heard them and soon after caused the passageway to be closed and no more men were allowed to reach the surface. But as there were many men remaining in the cavern he changed them to ants and ever since that time the small ants have come forth from holes in the ground. This week in Louisiana history.

“Ujaale apni yaadon ke hamare saath rehne do,na jaane kis gali mein zindagi ki shaam ho jaaye.” With Bashir Badr sahab's passing on May 28, Urdu poetry lost one of its warmest and most humane voices. In this episode of Urdunama, we remember the poet who made shayari feel intimate, conversational and deeply personal. From love and loneliness to loss, memory, riots and modern city life, Bashir sahib wrote about ordinary human emotions in a way generations instantly connected with. Fabeha Syed revisits some of his most iconic ghazals and reflects on the quiet grace and resilience that made Bashir Badr's poetry timeless. Learn more about your ad choices.

Why should we pray the Psalms slowly?In this reflective teaching, John Ortberg explores the nature of Hebrew poetry, the structure of the Psalms, and why the language of prayer was never meant to be rushed.Using Psalm 90 and several other Psalms, John unpacks the beauty of biblical parallelism — repetition, pivots, refrains, and poetic movement that deepen meaning and slow the soul down enough to notice God.This episode explores:- Why the Psalms are poetry, not prose- Hebrew parallelism explained simply- Why repetition matters spiritually- Psalm 23, Psalm 88, and Psalm 90- Jesus' use of poetic teaching- Prayer as attentiveness rather than efficiencyFeaturing reflections from:- Eugene Peterson- C.S. Lewis- Robert LowthScriptures:- Psalm 90- Psalm 23- Psalm 88- Matthew 7#Psalms #Prayer #JohnOrtberg #SpiritualFormation #HebrewPoetry #BibleStudy #Psalm90 #ChristianFaith #EugenePeterson #CSLewis

Young people today face extraordinary pressures. Social media overload, academic stress, peer expectations, school violence, immigration fears, and family instability have all contributed to rising rates of anxiety and depression among teenagers. For many young people, the burden becomes even heavier when incarceration, deportation, or injustice directly impacts their families.At the same time, adults navigating serious health challenges face their own emotional struggles, including fear, uncertainty, and the need to find meaning amid illness and change.In two compelling conversations, author and criminal justice activist Amy Friedman and surgeon-author Dr. Anthony Goodman explore the emotional realities of trauma, healing, compassion, and resilience from very different perspectives — yet with remarkably similar themes of humanity and hope.Amy Friedman, co-founder of POPS (Pain of the Prison System) the Club and editor of A SECRET CHORD: Stories, Poetry, and Art, discusses how PATHfinder and POPS Clubs across the country provide teenagers affected by incarceration, deportation, and injustice with safe spaces to express themselves through writing and art. These programs allow young people to transform pain into creativity while finding support, understanding, and connection.Friedman explains why policymakers, educators, parents, and community leaders must prioritize the mental health and emotional well-being of teenagers, especially during a time of growing uncertainty and fear. She also highlights the importance of encouraging creative expression through essays, poetry, storytelling, music, photography, and visual art as powerful tools for healing and self-discovery.Joining the program as well is Dr. Anthony Goodman, a highly respected surgeon whose career spanned decades of major medical advances before the era of CAT scans, MRIs, and minimally invasive surgery. In his book GREAT SAVES AND TERRIBLE LOSSES: The Journeys of a Surgeon, Dr. Goodman reflects on the triumphs and heartbreaks of life in medicine — and on the deeply personal challenge of being diagnosed with mild Alzheimer's disease.Now experiencing healthcare from the patient's perspective, Dr. Goodman offers a rare and honest look at living with Alzheimer's while maintaining purpose, joy, and dignity. Accompanied by his wife, Maribeth, he discusses coping strategies, treatment approaches, and the emotional impact of the diagnosis. He also addresses larger issues within today's healthcare system, including how profit-driven medicine can undermine compassion and trust between doctors and patients.Together, these two conversations reveal the profound importance of empathy, storytelling, emotional support, and human connection. Whether helping teenagers process trauma through creative expression or helping patients navigate devastating medical diagnoses with dignity and hope, both guests remind us that healing is about far more than medicine or policy alone — it is about being heard, understood, and cared for as human beings.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/late-night-health-radio--2804369/support.

Young people today face extraordinary pressures. Social media overload, academic stress, peer expectations, school violence, immigration fears, and family instability have all contributed to rising rates of anxiety and depression among teenagers. For many young people, the burden becomes even heavier when incarceration, deportation, or injustice directly impacts their families.At the same time, adults navigating serious health challenges face their own emotional struggles, including fear, uncertainty, and the need to find meaning amid illness and change.In two compelling conversations, author and criminal justice activist Amy Friedman and surgeon-author Dr. Anthony Goodman explore the emotional realities of trauma, healing, compassion, and resilience from very different perspectives — yet with remarkably similar themes of humanity and hope.Amy Friedman, co-founder of POPS (Pain of the Prison System) the Club and editor of A SECRET CHORD: Stories, Poetry, and Art, discusses how PATHfinder and POPS Clubs across the country provide teenagers affected by incarceration, deportation, and injustice with safe spaces to express themselves through writing and art. These programs allow young people to transform pain into creativity while finding support, understanding, and connection.Friedman explains why policymakers, educators, parents, and community leaders must prioritize the mental health and emotional well-being of teenagers, especially during a time of growing uncertainty and fear. She also highlights the importance of encouraging creative expression through essays, poetry, storytelling, music, photography, and visual art as powerful tools for healing and self-discovery.Joining the program as well is Dr. Anthony Goodman, a highly respected surgeon whose career spanned decades of major medical advances before the era of CAT scans, MRIs, and minimally invasive surgery. In his book GREAT SAVES AND TERRIBLE LOSSES: The Journeys of a Surgeon, Dr. Goodman reflects on the triumphs and heartbreaks of life in medicine — and on the deeply personal challenge of being diagnosed with mild Alzheimer's disease.Now experiencing healthcare from the patient's perspective, Dr. Goodman offers a rare and honest look at living with Alzheimer's while maintaining purpose, joy, and dignity. Accompanied by his wife, Maribeth, he discusses coping strategies, treatment approaches, and the emotional impact of the diagnosis. He also addresses larger issues within today's healthcare system, including how profit-driven medicine can undermine compassion and trust between doctors and patients.Together, these two conversations reveal the profound importance of empathy, storytelling, emotional support, and human connection. Whether helping teenagers process trauma through creative expression or helping patients navigate devastating medical diagnoses with dignity and hope, both guests remind us that healing is about far more than medicine or policy alone — it is about being heard, understood, and cared for as human beings.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/late-night-health-radio--2804369/support.

On the podcast today, Christine Hiester invites us to listen for the Holy Spirit through found poetry: "The hour or two we spend sifting through words is a holy practice, one that allows the Spirit to speak in and to the deepest parts of us." "Found Poetry as Spiritual Practice" is included in our Spring 2026 issue.Christine Hiester is a spiritual companion and creative practice guide who believes in the power of deep listening to heal and restore the world, one conversation at a time. Sometimes these deep conversations are shared over coffee, and sometimes they happen in color, metaphor, form, or song. However they happen, Christine wants to be right in the middle of them. She loves to be found on Instagram @shapingtheriver or at her website www.shapingtheriver.com.

Across continents and centuries outsider poets have made a bold stand for the life of the body, contemplative ecstasy, sexual liberation, and the sacredness of nature, often in the face of religious and political repression.  From Rajasthan to New York, Ancient Persia to London, and Swansea in Wales to Balkh in Afghanistan, ecstatic poets have broken taboos around sex, death, gender, social caste, and religious dogma. In a follow-up to last week's interview with Britt Hartley of No-Nonsense Spirituality, Julian reflects on how poetry has always lit up his inner world as a form of embodied spirituality that transcends religious frameworks or supernatural metaphysics. He shares favorite pieces that span 800 years and three continents from Mirabai, Walt Whitman, Mary Oliver, Kabir, David Whyte, Dylan Thomas, and Rumi, along with stories from their lives, and his own.

In Old and in Middle English, the practice was to join the time with the preposition, using a hyphen "to-day," and "to-morrow," and "to-night," for instance. As the sense of their use as single notions developed, the two elements were brought together in written language (i.e., to night, to-night, and tonight). Nineteenth-century dictionaries opted for the hyphen in all three words. The OED shows hyphenated examples throughout the 19th century and into the early 20th. Latest examples are of to-day (1912), to-night (1908), and to-morrow (1927, with a possible further example as late as 1959). (Adapted from this article).

Instead, I pondered life's approaching fringe, To close the life in back of me: a gate.    Of iron this gate was wrought, pronged, with a hinge Constructed clean, but rusted through the springs And screeching, so to make a deaf man cringe;    The kind to carve a stone floor, when it swings, Embedded in its plate, an oval brooch, The numerals of French and Spanish kings.

Myles Downey's new book, The Sessions, marks a transition, a metamorphosis in his influential body of work. And that becomes the theme of this, his third appearance on The Coach's Journey Podcast.What happens when it is no longer sustainable to remain what you have been? What is it like to have an idea - like Myles did with The Sessions more than 30 years ago - and not be able to let it go? And for Padraig, the protagonist of The Sessions, what is it like for someone to step into their own shoes, becoming a leader, becoming oneself as a leader? That is just the start, though, in a wide-ranging conversation about Myles' work, his new book, and what he has coming up next as part of what has already been an incredibly influential and impactful career, which started working closely with Sir John Whitmore in the early days of coaching in the UK and passed through The School of Coaching, his bestselling book Effective Modern Coaching and his powerful work on genius, which culminated in the book, Enabling Genius.In particular, we talk about: Whether it is our duty and responsibility to express ourselves. Poetry, prose, fiction, non-fiction, and Myles' relationship to reading and writing (and what this has to do with coaching).Myles' passion for human nature, creativity and how human beings should be more of themselves, not less of themselves. The close relationship between genius and being seen as mad, and why some leaders and CEOs see genius as dangerous. One of the most powerful coaching exercises Myles did with Robbie when he was Robbie's coach. And at the end, Myles tells a moving story about the influence of his wife, Jo, on The Sessions and his wider work, and gives a tantalising trailer for what might be his next book: The Inner Game of Leadership - what it takes to express oneself, configured around the notion of leadership.

View the artwork here. Giacometti completed the sculpture in 1932 and used bronze cast. Dimensions are 22.00 x 87.50 x 53.50 cm (or roughly 8.5 x 34.5 x 21 inches). Lucy Flint writes that the human figure is treated brutally in Giacometti's piece, and the woman appears in insectlike form. Woman with Her Throat Cut "is a particularly vicious image: the body is splayed open, disemboweled, arched in a paroxysm of sex and death. The psychological torment and the sadistic misogyny projected by this sculpture are in startling contrast to the serenity of other contemporaneous pieces by Giacometti, such as Woman Walking."

Every song has been sung.”What says the watchman?“It it is 1am, I am all alone. I am all alone.”What says the watchman?“It is 2am, scrolling on my phone.”What says the watchman?What says the watchman?What says the watchman?What says the watchman?The watchman watched his phone.The enemy arrived.The watchman is gone.Don't just deliver information. Deliver persuasion.Open their eyes. Make them realize.When they see what you see, they will do what you want them to.Win the heart and the mind will follow.The mind will always create logic to justify what the heart has already decided.Roy H.

Author, poet, and science communicator Diane Ackerman is our guest. Her wonderful collection of poems, with one devoted to each of the worlds in our Solar System, was first published in 1976. Carl Sagan said she had produced, “...a stunning book of poetry in The Planets. The work is scientifically accurate and even a convenient introduction to modern ideas on the planets, but much more important, it is spectacularly good poetry, clear, lyrical, and soaring. . . One of the triumphs of Ackerman’s pastoral is the demonstration of how closely compatible planetary exploration and poetry, science and art really are.” “The Planets” is now available in a brand new edition, and is as sublime, entertaining, and enlightening as it was half a century ago.

In this reflective episode of 5 Minutes of Peace, writer, coach, and creative guide Lisa Tener invites us into the gentle and accessible world of poetry. She reminds us that poetry isn't reserved for experts or scholars—it's a natural form of expression available to anyone willing to listen inwardly and explore what arises.Lisa begins by encouraging a spirit of curiosity when approaching poetry. Whether writing or listening, poetry can help us explore sound, emotion, rhythm, and imagination. Rather than worrying about technique, she suggests simply asking: What does this poem make me feel? What does it awaken inside me?She shares a short poem that describes poetry as a doorway at the center of the universe—an opening that invites us to step beyond the ordinary and return with words, images, and inspiration flowing freely. Through this metaphor, Lisa reminds us that creativity is always available when we open ourselves to it.In her second poem, “Poetry Night at the Rite Aid Parking Lot,” Lisa captures a spontaneous moment of creative awakening. Inspired by the energy of fellow writers after a conference, she pulls over under the bright lights of a quiet parking lot and begins writing lines as they arrive. In that moment, she imagines others doing the same—poets appearing unexpectedly, responding to the quiet call of creativity, filling their notebooks under ordinary lights in an ordinary place.Through this story, Lisa offers a simple but powerful invitation: creativity can happen anywhere, at any moment. All it takes is a willingness to pause, listen, and let words emerge.As the episode closes, she encourages listeners to try writing a few lines themselves—perhaps even pulling over somewhere unexpected, like that parking lot, to capture whatever wants to be expressed.Lisa Tener is a book coach, writing mentor, and author who helps writers bring their ideas to life. You can learn more about her work, her writing community, and a free nonfiction book writing course at lisatener.com.Take a moment today to notice what words, images, or feelings might be waiting for you. Creativity often begins with a single breath, a quiet pause, and the courage to put pen to paper.Join us again whenever you need five minutes of peace.
