Since 1992, GLT has collaborated with Illinois State University's English Department to produce Poetry Radio. Each program, between two and five minutes in length, spotlights a single poem, contemporary or classic, framed by a responsive piece of music.

You can hear Poetry Radio on the web. Just click on the poem's title. You may also subscribe to the Poetry Radio podcast.
