Yesterday we released the newest episode in the PoemTalk Podcast series, which focuses on two poems from Rae Armantrout's collection Go Figure: "Here I Go" and "Further Thought." Joining host Al Filreis for this program are Julia Bloch and Laynie Browne, along with Armantrout herself.
As Filreis notes in his program notes at Jacket2, Armantrout was visiting UPenn to take part in an interactive ModPo webcast and to give a poetry reading in addition to recording this podcast session. "Rae’s PennSound author page didn’t yet have any recordings of performances of poems from this new book," he notes, "so we asked the poet to read them during the podcast session."
You can listen to this latest program, listen to and read and the poem, and learn more about the show here. PoemTalk is a joint production of PennSound and the Poetry Foundation, aided by the generous support of Nathan and Elizabeth Leight.
