Depth, richness, and accessibility

My first time to listen to this podcast. WOW. The poem came alive and surprised me with a sense of its grief - and beautifully rendered and opened up with depth and richness by Saeed Jones.

Exceptional

Love hearing the master poets read others work and their own but I especially love the analysis, allowing me to join in with them and compare my own interpretations with theirs as if being in a graduate level poetry class. Stimulating and fascinating.
