Poetry Resources
With all of the technology available to poets today, there is a wealth of
sound available for the poetic ear. I find it much easier to write after I
have immersed myself in the language of poetry. Here are some of my

sound available for the poetic ear. I find it much easier to write after I
have immersed myself in the language of poetry. Here are some of my
favorites:
- Russell Simmons presents Def Poetry - even if you don't have
cable, the first 4 seasons are out on DVD. - Bill Moyers, The Language of Life - This PBS series is available in
book form, VHS, or audiobook (my favorite). - Poetry readings - that's right, somewhere near you poetry readings
are happening. If you can't find one then it is a good time to start
one.
- Poetry Speaks, narrated by Charles Osgood - this is a good source
of some of the standard works in the poet's voice. The book
contains text of the readings to accompany those who are studying.
- The Caedmon Poetry Collection - A Century of Poets Reading
Their Work.
Founded in 1912 by Harriet Monroe. This is a wonderful "magazine" to subscribe to. It
fits in my purse and travels to all the places that might otherwise be dull. The web
version is a great source of sold poetry and editorials on the craft. The web site also
contains a great audio archive for your listening pleasure (including podcasts)
