Poems for the Speed of Life is a short weekday show that reads and considers one poem and what it might tell us about the world, about ourselves, and about our place in the world.

From Nobel laureates such as Seamus Heaney and Wisława Szymborska, to Pulitzer Prize winners Anne Sexton and Robert Frost, to much missed poet-philosophers such as John O’Donohue and Mary Oliver, to relatively little known writers, musicians and songsmiths all with something vital to say about the human experience, poetry lovers and truth seekers alike will be sure to find something of interest every week on Poems for the Speed of Life.

Launched on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and all other major podcast providers in late 2022, Poems for the Speed of Life expanded to Substack in late 2023.
