"Live from the House of Blues" was not the way we ever thought we'd begin an episode of our poetry podcast, but thanks to our special guest Frank Turner, it became true with this episode. What followed backstage was a chance to explore songwriting as it relates to poetry, and even moreso, what makes art itself art? And have you heard the rumor that Frank wrote a poem?

In this episode, we explore self-portrait poems through the lens of visual art—from “plating poems” to Dante Di Stefano’s haunting idea of “ghost-ekphrasis.” Along the way, we dig into standout work by Hayden Saunier, Donald Hall, Seamus Heaney, Chen Chen, A.K. Ramanujan, Denise Duhamel, and Di Stefano himself—plus we paint an intense detour into Caravaggio. If you love ekphrastic poetry, craft talk, and poems that double as portraits, this one’s for you.
