The hosts of “Poetry for All” have one goal with their podcast: to make us fall in love again with poetry.
“There's just so much poetry out there. You're bound to come across poetry that moves you, that reaches you, that touches you [and] enables you to think about the world in a slightly different way,” said podcast co-host Abram Van Engen, an English professor at Washington University.
“Part of what we're doing in this podcast is just reintroducing people to poetry, to show them that it is not a kind of hidden lockbox of meaning that only the professor has the key to, or a puzzle that only professors can solve — that poems really do reach us on all different kinds of levels.”
