Episode 5 - [as freedom is a breakfastfood] by E.E. Cummings

When was the last time you wrote a poem? Or studied a poem, or read one? Or even thought about poetry at all? Chances are, more recently than you think, particularly if you listen to popular music, if you read, or even watch Netflix. 

If this podcast has a central idea, it is that poetry still has a place in connecting humans to a shared experience, and that exploring the ideas of poetry outside of university and high school classroom yields something more rich and meaningful. Let’s take poetry off the page and give you something to think, rather than just read.
