{"product_id":"word-of-mouth-poems-featured-on-nprs-all-things-considered-9780375713156","title":"Word of Mouth: Poems Featured on Npr's All Things Considered","description":"Starting in 1995, NPR's \u003ci\u003eAll Things Considered\u003c\/i\u003e began presenting poets reading their own works. Introduced by \"poetry DJ\" Catherine Bowman, these popular short segments allowed listeners to experience poetry as a kind of verbal music, recalling its roots as a spoken art form. \u003cb\u003eWord of Mouth\u003c\/b\u003e, edited by Bowman, brings together the poems that have been featured on NPR, providing a window onto the dynamic contemporary poetry scene. A child playing with flashes of sunlight in the aisle of an airplane; a woman describing tropical fruit to someone in a faraway country; a man building a deck with his dead father's hammer; the musings of a Barbie doll participating in a 12-step program: these poems powerfully and lyrically transform the stuff of every day life. A celebration of the poetic voice that includes 33 acclaimed writers, this vibrant anthology proves beyond any doubt that poetry is far more than just words on paper. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eQuincy Troupe - Czeslaw Milosz - Campbell McGrath - C.D.
