Episode 1: Poetry, April 2013

Episode 1:

Introducing the new podcast from Ellen and Suzanne, librarians at the Duxbury Free Library in Duxbury, MA.

In this, our inaugural podcast, we talk about poetry, because April is National Poetry Month.

Podcast #1

If you are interested, here are links to the things we mentioned:

The poem Ellen read: "How Falling in Love is like Owning a Dog" by Taylor Mali. Thank you to Taylor for the open permission for everyone to use his poem!

Suzanne found poetry "written" by computer algorithms:
 The Pentametron, inadvertent tweets in iambic pentameter and lines from New York Times articles that are in Haiku format.
