Hello and Welcome! My name is John, and this is The Concise Verse, a podcast for people who love poetry but don't always have time for it. In each episode we'll bring you a single, beautiful poem. No commentary, no analysis, just the verse itself, read with care and respect.
Each poem will be around a minute or less. A perfect dose of art for your commute, your coffee break, or whenever you need a moment of peace.
New poems arrive every week. You can find them by searching for The Concise Verse on your favorite podcast app. Before you go, here is a small taste:
