Episode: POETRY UNBOUND by Pádraig Ó Tuama, read by Pádraig Ó Tuama
Description: Based on Pádraig Ó Tuama’s popular podcast, “Poetry Unbound,” this audiobook is a fine anthology of poetry, and a very good introduction to how to think about poetry itself. Ó Tuama is an especially good interpreter of poetry, both as a critic and as a reader, and he narrates brief and insightful essays about each of the fifty poems included in the collection. Each poem is read with thoughtfulness and skill in his Irish brogue, voicing poems from Ada Limón, Ilya Kaminsky, Ocean Vuong, and more.Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile’s website.
