Radio Poet!que
A word spoken world radio review
American poetry is the perfect bird for the infinite acoustical airwaves, with a helluva hunger and a big bold appetite for experience. Give it a chance and American poetry will devour the emptiness that surrounds it.
This is not your gateway to a syndicated poetry show. This is not your usual lineup of Poetry Foundation heavyweights. This is not your guide to recitation of the classics, or your summary of youtube or vimeo libraries of recorded poems.
RADIO POET!QUE is your gateway to the best, most local, most au courant broadcasters of poetry and performative poetry today.
We are diligently uncovering current independent an aucourant radio shows and podcasts nationwide that broadcast and archive
- Poetry in performance
- Poetry set to music or reset as lyrics in songs
- Poetry-in-the-Mix with other music programming
- Lyrics so poetical you can’t help thinking of them as poetry
- Locally-based poetry interviews, poet profiles, and poetry commentary
RADIO POET!QUE is committed to the people who are committed to the idea that poetry belongs to the people, and has a place at the table with other forms of popular entertainment broadcast today. It’s our goal to profile and present them to you – the best alternative, college and community radio shows and podcasts out there that integrate poetry and the literary arts into their broadcasting choices.
