Poems for new prez
Partly because I create and produce a regular podcast series in collaboration with the Poetry Foundation of Chicago (PoemTalk), partly because I’ve become about as electorally wonky as anyone in the past year or so, and partly because I subscribe to about two dozen ongoing podcasts ... there was no way I’d miss the new “Poetry Off the Shelf” episode, which (surprise!) features poems for and about Obama. Here’s your link to the Poetry Foundation site’s link to the audio. You can also get it (and subscribe to the series) in your ITunes music store. Just search for “Poetry Foundation Shelf.”
