4-minute poetry program

April is National Poetry Month - a good time to start airing Poem For Today, a daily four-minute program making poetry immediate, entertaining and relevant even to listeners who've never appreciated it.
Listeners to KCSC/KBCW love it.
Here are 7 sample shows.
Each program links a poem (or two) to the date through an event or a theme, allowing poetry its function of interpreting the everyday world in a way that illuminates the human spirit.
We have over 2 years available for every date in the calendar and are in production for the coming year.
Over 600 programs cover 300 poets from 70 countries - it's the most comprehensive anthology of poetry on radio.
For more info visit www.poemfortoday.com

It's moving, powerful - and it's fun.
We can get it to you tomorrow.
