Poetry on the Radio
Poetry on the Radio is both a weekly, half-hour program about ACT-region poets and poetry, produced by ArtSound FM, and a short weekly segment co-produced by ArtSound FM and Recent Work Press, Canberra, generally featuring poets of the ACT and its region.
In the short-version POTR, poets recite one of their poems, then comment on it, then recite the same poem again. Producer is Peter Monaghan, ArtSound FM, originally working with Shane Strange, publisher, Recent Work Press. (Founded in Canberra in 2015, Recent Work Press publishes poetry and other short-form textual work in paperback editions.) The segments run during Arts Café on Thursdays at about 1:20-1:35pm, repeated at about 6:20-6:35pm. Also, during Arts About 1-2pm on Sundays.
The weekly program runs Sundays at 4:30pm, and repeats Mondays at 10:30pm.
