What do poets do all day? Some gaze out windows "for which they are paid nothing every Friday afternoon."* Others get a day job.
I am certain Paul Muldoon's day job is the envy of many poets. He is the poetry editor of The New Yorker. He also hosts a monthly podcast in which he interviews a poet whose work has been featured in The New Yorker. The magazine has produced four podcasts, and all are available free on Itunes. The interviews are interesting enough to keep me speed walking on a treadmill that faces a beige wall. That's a ringing endorsement.
Go to itunes and type "The New Yorker Poetry Podcast"
or try this link.
*From the poem "Monday" by Billy Collins. Read it here.
