Talking About "The Hundredfold"

Anthony Esolen on How and Why to Read Poetry

This week for Anthony Esolen Speaks we are sharing an interview I did for The Kyle Heimann Show to talk about my own book-length poem, “The Hundredfold: Songs for the Lord” — how I came to write it and why and how to approach reading poetry at all. We’d love to get this poem to a wider audience, so we do hope you might give “The Hundredfold” a try, or perhaps give it as a gift this season. And stay tuned: during Lent I’ll be doing readings of some of the dramatic monologues here at Word & Song, and possibly through another venue.

Thanks for listening! And thanks for supporting and sharing Word & Song.
