Poetry Between Friends

I wrote poems in my teens — until a trusted adult’s remark triggered shame. If only, instead, I had shared them with a friend. Now I do exactly that. I send an original poem to someone I love. They write one in conversation with mine. We read each other's work aloud, then follow the poems wherever they lead. Whether you've been writing in secret for years, yearn to write, or writing is your life's work — you are very welcome here. New episodes every Monday. Hosted by Rachel Schroeder, a New York-based playwright, poet, lyricist, and educator.
