Hello, Sean. Thank you for running this podcast. I keep up each with episode. I was wondering if you have considered any eastern poetry? Or any poetry from Asian poets?

Hi, Kitt–thank you! We have featured some eastern poetry and other poetry-in-translation in the past, but not often––this is partly a limitation stemming from our own reading, but mainly because great poetry often suffers so much in translations. I'm always happy to receive recommendations of well-rendered classics, though!

Sean, great job with the podcast! Thank you! You asked for suggestions - how about “The Fear of Darkness” from “The Peace of Wild Things” by Wendell Berry? Again, thanks for your efforts! Love this podcast!

Mark! Thanks for the kind words and the great recommendation.

It was great to see your family recently--sorry we missed you on our trip through, though. Merry Christmas and all our best to you and Miss Shelby!
