Celebrate poetry with an iPhone app! Now poetry lovers have a new way of experiencing great poems with a free app.

POETRY EVERYWHERE is a collection of short poetry videos featuring contemporary poets reading their own works, introduced by Garrison Keillor. It’s pure poetry! With easy navigation, this app is a sure way to provide reflection and inspiration.

"What makes a good poem? I’d say stickiness, a kind of memorability....You hear it and a day later some of it is still there in your brain. I think a poem is “good” if its memorable, reciteable, and it’s accessible. There are many good poems out there you dont get a chance to see or hear and now Poetry Everywhere is giving people just that opportunity." - Garrison Keillor

With selections ranging from Billy Collins and Ted Kooser to Lucille Clifton, Maxine Kumin, and Marilyn Chin, the POETRY EVERYWHERE app is a fresh take on poetry. Enjoy a broad spectrum of voices and gain an even deeper appreciation of this timeless art form.


About the Project:
WGBH (wgbh.org) and David Grubin Productions, in association with the Poetry Foundation, created this project to reach new audiences with the power of great poetry, and to increase poetry’s presence on television and the Web.

In addition to our website, www.pbs.org/poetry, the videos will appear on local public television stations. We hope this project offers moments of
excitement and even revelation throughout your day.
