Each week, WFIU’s The Poets Weave invites poets from around the local area to perform a few selections from their repertoires.
This week, we decided to do something a little different. We invited three poets into our studio to put faces to names and perform their poems on camera.
We wanted to keep the same intimate feel on camera as on radio: No set, no music, just the poet and their work.
Performing today are Christine Brandel, Emily Bobo and James Dorr. You can see both videos below, or as a YouTube playlist.
For more performances by local poets each week, listen to The Poets Weave on WFIU Public Radio or on The Poets Weave’s website.
