It’s A Poetry Feed

Hey, welcome here!  I’m Karsten Piper, and I’ll be reading poems to you as often as you drop by.  They’ll be poems I appreciate, though I’ll leave them mostly unremarked-on in the posts.  Still, comments are certainly welcome.  And if those turn into conversations?  Better yet!

Why a blog of poetry recordings?

Because a poem aloud is the rest of the poem on the page.  Because I teach college writing and literature classes, many sections online, and want to grow a custom hoard of poems for students to hear read out loud. Because I’d rather be writing, myself, but don’t always, and reading aloud often makes me feel like doing the work again. And because you, friend, may discover something here that feeds your spirit or imagination a little bit.

So belly up.  It’s a poetry feed.
