Poetry Medicine for the Soul is a podcast hosted by John Gillespie that invites poets to read, explore, and celebrate poetry. While the 2025 National Poetry Month is over, this summer, Poetry Medicine for the Soul is still celebrating. Episode 28 features Rosa Lane reading “Wild Night—Wild Nights” by Emily Dickenson and her own poem, “French Sardines,” from her new poetry collection Called Back, which just received the 2025 Maine Literary Book Award. Rosa and John then discuss the question: What does national poetry month mean to you?
