- Summary:
- These short segments of poets reading their own work, introduced and discussed by Bowman, allowed listeners to experience poetry as verbal music, recalling its roots as a popular oral art form. Collected here, they offer a window into the dynamic contemporary poetry scene. Word of Mouth features such award-winning and acclaimed writers as Czeslaw Milosz, Joseph Brodsky, Paul Muldoon, Naomi Shihab Nye, Jack Gilbert, Yusef Komunyakaa, C. D. Wright, Hal Sirowitz, Jane Cooper, and Wing Pang. This celebration of the poetic voice proves beyond any doubt that poetry is far more than just words on paper.
