Hi everyone, Ethan, Caleb, and Steph are checking in! We were excited to share our first podcast episode for Exploring Art Podcast. In this episode titled "The Fridge Poem, Real or Fake?" we will discuss the different forms of poetry, history, and most importantly, one of the pioneers of modern poetry, William Carlos Williams.
