Episode 29: "Introduction to Poetry" by Billy Collins

We continue discussing National Poetry Month with Billy Collin's poem, "Introduction to Poetry." We use it to talk about the point and method of poetry, as well as the various ways we construct meaning. If you or a loved one hate poetry, this is the podcast for you. You can find the full text of the poem here: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/46712/introduction-to-poetry My thanks and apologies to Billy Collins. I love this poem and love sharing it with others. It's always how I start conversations about why Poetry matters, how we've been taught it wrong, and how to approach poems.
