The Missing Poetry Today Interviews
with Joris Soeding & Dipika Mukherjee

The last two episodes of "Poetry Today" were filmed in December 2019 and January 2020 for broadcast on the Comcast public-access channel the following months. Equipment failures at the time prevented their conversion to You-Tube videos. And then the pandemic.
Happily, studio engineer Vic Walter has given us these missing interviews as a lovely Poetry month present. Enjoy!
We look forward to the re-opening of the studio and the return of this program later this year.
Covid-19 still with us. No live-in person events scheduled at this time. Visit "Events & Daily Poems" page for virtual events, submission deadlines and more opportunities.
