ep. 115 - Lyric Poetry Part 2

Listen to this episode from The Poetry Space_ on Spotify. In the second half of our series with Gregory Orr, the conversation turns to grief, tenderness, and the healing power of the lyric. We talk about Emily Dickinson’s role and the role of the lyric in contemporary poetry. If part one asks what the lyric is, part two asks what it’s for—and how it helps us endure what can’t be said any other way.At the Table:Gregory OrrKatie DozierTimothy GreenDick WestheimerBrian O'SullivanJoe Barca
