Description:

Welcome to the Poetry Pea Podcast! I’m Patricia, your host—and today we’re diving into technique. But wait! Don’t run for the hills just yet, or even the mountains…. This isn’t a dry lecture—we’re doing technique the Poetry Pea way: through the lens of rich, inspirational poetry.

And we’re in for a real treat today because we’re in the company of one of the greats: John Wills. A master of the short form, Wills was an American poet who lived from 1921 to 1993, leaving behind a remarkable legacy of poems and books. I’ll introduce you to his work, highlight some of the techniques he used so beautifully, and read a few examples that just might change the way you write—or read—poetry.
