Three Favorite 20th Century Poets, presented by Paul Maitland
The poetry of Ogden Nash, Jane Kenyon, and Luci Shaw could not be more different, but their works explore universal themes with an accessible, often personal tone that resonates with readers. Despite vast differences in tone, they balance simplicity with profound insight, connecting their readers to shared human experiences of life, love, morality, spirituality, and the human condition.
Join us as we explore the writings of these contemporary poets.
