Lifting Poetry Off the Page: Two from Curtis Fox
Award-winning producer Curtis Fox has covered arts and culture for many years...first for public radio and more recently as a full-time podcaster. Over time he's developed a soft spot for one of the least understood corners of his beat - poetry. You could even say he's on a bit of a mission to bring verse to the masses, which he does by making it both accessible and thoroughly enjoyable. Here are two examples of what we mean: an episode of Fox's weekly podcast for the Poetry Foundation and an excerpt from his joyous profile of Walt Whitman.

Listen to "Walt Whitman: Song of Myself" and "Poetry off the Shelf, with Kay Ryan" >>
