Bookrageous Episode 12: Poetryrageous!

2011 at 5am     Posted by Rebecca Joines Schinsky

I gave you a glimpse into my adventures in poetry earlier this week, and now I’m thrilled to share the full Bookrageous episode in which Lacy, manager of indie bookstore Rock City Books, recommends poetry to Josh, Jenn, and me based on our personal tastes in music and literature, and then (by the magic of the interweb!) we reconvene to discuss our reactions and experiences. Enjoy the embedded player below, subscribe on iTunes (and we’d love it if you’d write a review), and let us know what you’d like to hear about in the future.

Show notes (with links to everything we discuss) after the jump.  ntro Music – Love Vigilantes, Iron & WineWhat We’re Reading
