I Offer Poetry asks the question, why don't we share poetry like we share music? Host Elizabeth Ellson interviews people from all walks of life and gives them the opportunity to share a poem that their heart holds onto. Guests tell the stories that bring their chosen poem to the forefront of their mind. This podcast aims to share poetry the way that we share music: fluidly and accessibly. It's a little bit linguistic, it's a little bit rock and roll.

<p dir="ltr">In the final episode of Season One, <a href= "https://www.iofferpoetry.com">I Offer Poetry</a> explores <a href= "http://www.phys.unm.edu/~tw/fas/yits/archive/oliver_wildgeese.html"> Wild Geese</a> by Mary Oliver.</p> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr">Mary Oliver’s work is greatly influenced by her upbringing in Ohio and her chosen home, New England, as well as the authors Walt Whitman and Henry David Thoreau. While the focus of this episode is <a href= "http://www.phys.unm.edu/~tw/fas/yits/archive/oliver_wildgeese.html"> Wild Geese</a>, Elizabeth also mentions two other poems of Oliver’s (<a href= "https://www.loc.gov/programs/poetry-and-literature/poet-laureate/poet-laureate-projects/poetry-180/all-poems/item/poetry-180-133/the-summer-day/">The Summer Day</a> and <a href= "https://wordsfortheyear.com/2017/08/28/invitation-by-mary-oliver/"> The Invitation</a>) which she highly recommends to the audience for further reading.</p> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr">A peaceful episode exploring answerless questions, admitting tough seasons often require post-it-note covered mirrors, and welcoming the invitation to stop feeling the need to constantly repent. This poem encapsulates what Elizabeth hopes we will all approach the New Year with; the desire and pursuit of letting the soft animal of your body love what it loves.</p> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr"><span style= "text-decoration: underline;">Timestamps:</span> </p> <p dir="ltr">00:01:13 Poem Reading (Elizabeth)</p> <p dir="ltr">00:02:26 Author Info</p> <p dir="ltr">00:06:02 Elizabeth’s Relationship to the Poem</p> <p dir="ltr">00:20:14 Pause / Poem Reading (Elizabeth)</p> <p dir="ltr">00:22:36 Reflection & Gratitude</p> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Poem & Links:</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "http://www.phys.unm.edu/~tw/fas/yits/archive/oliver_wildgeese.html"> Wild Geese by Mary Oliver (© 1986)</a></p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lv_4xmh_WtE">Wild Geese Reading by Mary Oliver</a></p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://www.loc.gov/programs/poetry-and-literature/poet-laureate/poet-laureate-projects/poetry-180/all-poems/item/poetry-180-133/the-summer-day/"> The Summer Day (Mary Oliver)</a></p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://wordsfortheyear.com/2017/08/28/invitation-by-mary-oliver/"> Invitation (Mary Oliver)</a></p> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">I.O.P.

<p dir="ltr">In the final guest episode of Season One, Elizabeth hosts her friend Kiran Subramaniam and they discuss the poetry of Percy Bysshe Shelley.</p> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr">Kiran Subramaniam is a writer & performer living in Los Angeles by day, who dreams of the North Carolina mountains and beach by night. She currently works on the show Hightown as seen on Starz. She's a fan of chewy raspberry licorice, books, Spotify, and international architecture. Her first dog will be named Toby, a la the curmudgeonly Toby Zielger of The West Wing.</p> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr">During their discussion of the poem ‘To William Shelley’ the conversation floats from the surface aspects of Percy’s scandalous personal life, all the way to the depths of the poetic mind/body split and our souls becoming one with nature. In unpacking a poem which centers on the loss of a child, the two women take an opportunity to explore their ideas of what parenthood and having a life outside your chest might feel like. As with many episodes, this conversation includes investigation into punctuation choices and how universal it feels to run out of words when we have lost the irreplaceable. </p> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr">Join us for a guest episode which touches on many genuine, tender heartstrings but also pokes fun at Percy’s inarguably hipster, would-be Perez Hilton cover-story-worthy life.</p> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr"><span style= "text-decoration: underline;">Timestamps:</span> </p> <p dir="ltr">00:00:48 Guest Introduction</p> <p dir="ltr">00:03:05 Poem Reading (Kiran)</p> <p dir="ltr">00:04:41 Author Info</p> <p dir="ltr">00:07:46 Kiran’s Relationship to the Poem</p> <p dir="ltr">00:28:14 Pause / Poem Reading (Kiran)</p> <p dir="ltr">00:35:30 Reflection & Offering</p> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Poem & Links:</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://www.poetry.com/poem/29328/to-william-shelley.">To William Shelley (© 1824)</a></p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "http://shelleygodwinarchive.org/contents/to_william/">To William Shelley, Ink & Quill Draft</a></p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Portrait_of_Percy_Bysshe_Shelley_by_Curran,_1819.jpg"> Percy Shelley Portrait</a></p> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">I.O.P.
