"Poetry! What is it good for?" podcast is different. In other poetry podcasts -- a poet reads and talks about her poetry. "PWIIGF" brings together two poets who appreciate each others work to engage in a lively conversation and poetry reading on a topic that fascinates them. Along the way we find that poetry is good for a lot -- mostly to keep us human.
Moderators Rebecca McKean and Alan Winson -- lovers of poetry -- and Chris Brandt -- a writer of poetry -- keep the conversation informal, critical and emotionally connected.
If you enjoy poetry and want to meet some amazing poets and people -- give PWIIGF a try.

She has published two chapbooks and two collections. Among the journals where her poetry has appeared are Prairie Schooner, Southern Review, Virginia Quarterly Review, and The Yale Review.
