Welcome to the Poetry & Pedagogy podcast. My name is Neill Korobov. I am a Professor of Psychology at the University of West Georgia. I’m also a lover of poetry. One of the ways I stay in love with my teaching is to bring poetry to it. I regularly bring my favorite poetry to my students and I invite them to listen closely to how poetry asks us to live more spaciously and courageously and humbly, how it teaches us to listen more carefully, and how it creates in us, if we let it, a kind of robust vulnerability.

In each episode, I guide you through a poem that I use in my teaching in order to explore how that poem might open us to become more expansive and imaginative in our teaching. Although it’s a podcast geared towards those of us that teach, I think you’ll see when you listen that it’s really for anyone in a leadership position, or anyone who wants to live at the forward edge of their own growth.
