Matthew Zapruder, "WHY POETRY"
Manage episode 210551100 series 2361656
In Why Poetry, award-winning poet Matthew Zapruder takes on what it is that poetry--and poetry alone--can do. Zapruder argues that the way we have been taught to read poetry is the very thing that prevents us from enjoying it. In lively, lilting prose, he shows us how that misunderstanding interferes with our direct experience of poetry and creates the sense of confusion or inadequacy that many of us feel when faced with it.
Mr. Zapruder is joined by David L. Ulin, author of the novel Ear to the Ground.
