National Poetry Month 2025 comes to a conclusion with a predicable Billy Collins double-shot (“The Trouble with Poetry” and “Introduction to Poetry”), Lawrence Ferlinghetti (“A Coney Island of the Mind, 6”), and an original with a name so ridiculous in the context of this episode I can’t bear to add it to the show notes.

Thank you listeners for following along and celebrating poetry with me these last 30 days. The podcast will continue though at a slower pace, stay tuned!
