Episode description and notes

What gives poetry its rhythm, and how can imagery help a poem connect with its audience? On Abstract Poetry, Safa Bernal explores poetry’s roots in oral storytelling, the purpose of meter, and the power of language meant to be heard and performed. She also introduces three poetry books with science fiction and fantasy themes: Usurper Kings, Warning Light Calling, and The Drake Equation. Join the conversation for a fresh look at poetry’s history, sound, imagery, and imaginative possibilities. Find more episodes at Universal Podcast Network.
