Three Poetry Podcasts
There are innumerable podcasts about poetry.
I find these three, one American, one French, and one from Montreal, particularly rich and interesting, especially if approached ethnographically: the settings, the hierarchies, the voices, the choices, the cultural landscape of reference, the institutional dimension, the exclusions and the inclusions.
They are all -centric in their own way each reflecting a specific postcolonial/imperial situation. They are also models of how to practice close and “far away” readings of poetry and thus offer many clues.
