The Poet and The Poem
is a radio show and poetry program hosted by poet and playwright, Grace Cavalieri. For over 40 years, TPaTP has been broadcast from the library of congress, and since 1977, Grace has interviewed every US Poet Laureate to hold office. On “The Poet and the Poem” Grace examines just that, the poetry and the poet. Each show is an interview with an important poet, national or international, and each interview a mix of questions pertaining to the poet’s life, anything from literary inspirations to childhood romances. Thanks to Grace’s disarming personality and acute questions, it would be impossible to leave an episode of TPaTP without learning something new about your favorite poet. Wikipedia Full Archive
