Earlier this year I discovered the Poetry Unbound podcast by Pádraig Ó Tuama, which is affiliated with the OnBeing project. I’m thrilled that I arrived late to this particular party, as there are so many episodes sitting there, waiting to be discovered.
Ó Tuama’s incredibly thoughtful selection, reading, and exploration of each poem is completely absorbing.
These are just a few favourites from my recent listening:
Little Children, by Caroline Bird
Crossing Half of China to Sleep with You, by Yu Xiuhua
On Being now offers a greatly expanded section on poetry, including interviews with poets and a larger poetry archive. Now I just need more time!
