Piece Description
A common complaint about poetry in general is that it's esoteric and inaccessible. "Thank You For Saying Thank You" is a poem that even the biggest detractor of poetry can understand, a poem about itself and, in the end, about the form. It's by Charles Bernstein, recorded at the Boston Poetry Marathon in the summer of 2002. (Would be great in a spot normally reserved for commentaries. A perfect segment to mark National Poetry Month and made for radio.)
