Great Regulars: Jeffrey Brown: Finally tonight: the gift of poetry

over 100 years in a conversation we recorded recently with poet and editor Christian Wiman.

"Print the best poetry written today in whatever style, genre or approach," the ambitious words written a hundred years ago by Harriet Monroe, when she founded Poetry, now the oldest monthly journal devoted to verse in the English-speaking language.
