Poetry everywhere is a series on Youtube of brief 1 or 2 min poems read by the American poets who wrote them. A wonderful assortment.
Each begins with a short introduction to the poet – basic geography and interest/style. If you’d like to find some new-to-you poets, this is an easy place to begin looking. Here’s one I’ve just found: Martin Espada.
Really, you could spend a bit of a rainy Saturday afternoon just listening to these voices and feel intrigued, engaged and encouraged to write yourself.
