A Mother’s Day Ramble | This MOTHER’S DAY, I’m far away from my two children, Ethan and Maggie (seen here harvesting bananas on the farm in Costa Rica where they’re living). When we’re together, we love to read, and sometimes read poetry–so I wanted to give myself the Mother’s day gift of reading some of the poems I know they enjoy, and talking about how they work and sound so they might become more familiar. I hope they, and other kids, moms, dads, and poetry folk out there, might enjoy it. Listen to the show here: The poems I read are William Wordsworth “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” Robert Frost “The Pasture” and “The Road Not Taken” e.e. cummings “maggie and milly and molly and may” Elizabeth Bishop “The Fish” Wallace Stevens “The House Was Quiet and the World Was Calm” | 5/9/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Bodies for Voices: Mike Doughty | MIKE DOUGHTY is a singer and songwriter whose latest album is called Sad Man, Happy Man. In the 1990s he headed the band Soul Coughing, known for their creative sampling and Mike’s poetic lyric delivery; since 2000 he has been solo–his albums include Skittish, Rockity-Roll, and Golden Delicious. Mike is also a poet; his book, Slanky, was published in 1996 by Soft Skull Press. His songs are poetic, and his poems are musical; the processes of writing for him are inseparable. He is currently working on a memoir. We spoke in November 2009, when he came to Cambridge on tour. In this episode, Mike reads several poems from Slanky, and talks about his musical and poetic influences, beginning with his work with Seiku Sundiata, Ani diFranco and Suzan-Lori Parks while a student at NYU, through his engagement with hip-hop in New York in the 1990′s, to his newest work, which he describes as resonating with older, more elemental musical forms.

Unreal Cities: Raul Zurita with Anna Deeny | Purgatory by Raul Zurita. UC Press 2009 The renowned Chilean poet Raul Zurita’s book, Purgatory, responds in broken and multiple forms to the brokenness of experience in Pinochet’s Chile in the 1970′s. With the help of Anna Deeny, the poet and translator of Zurita into English, I spoke with Zurita in spring 2009. The bilingual editon of Purgatory, translated beautifully and with an afterword by Deeny (and a forward by the poet C.D. Wright), was published by the University of California Press in 2009.

Works on Paper | WILLIAM POWERS is an award-winning journalist (Washington Post, National Journal) and media critic who has been thinking about the importance of staying connected to the peculiar human qualities of paper in the age of digital disembodiment. Poetry–by poets such as Robert Frost, Walt Whitman, and Mary Oliver–has helped him think about how this question might be inseparable from the problems of disconnection people have always encountered. Since we spoke in May 2009, Powers has completed the book project inspired by this line of thought: due in June 2010, it’s called Hamlet’s BlackBerry: A Practical Philosophy for Building a Good Life in the Digital Age.
