Welcome to You're the Poet, the poetry podcast featuring you! In this sixty-first episode hosts Matt & Phil Burgio welcome back guest A. Benedict to You're the Poet in a new short-episode feature called You're the Poet Guest Sketch. The twofold purpose of the Guest Sketch is to highlight a previous guest of You're the Poet and to provide the listeners with content when a full length episode is not coming out in a given week. Our goal is to have an episode in some form for our listeners on a weekly basis. We hope you enjoy the poetry shared here, and we welcome you to join us for future episodes.

This episode's intro poem recited by Phil Burgio.
