Poetry is the focus of the next few episodes of "Human Talk." There isn't a single definition I can give that adequately sums up what poetry is, but I can say that it helps us observe, make sense of, and appreciate the world around us, whether it be written or spoken. I am by no means a poet myself, although I do write songs, but I wanted to gather the unique voices of some poets for one episode of the podcast. Not surprisingly, when I put out some feelers on Facebook to see if people were interested, several poets from different parts of the country responded, so I had to make this a 3 part series. Episode one features the voices of Griggori Tyler Taylor, Addison Moore and Erica Furman. They each chat with me about their lives, why poetry is so important to them, their influences, and they read poems written by themselves or others. Put some coffee or tea on, relax, and enjoy this spoken art.
