Speaking of podcasts, Poetry Unbound is a lovely relaxing listen. It's a gateway into poetry for those that haven't yet found an appreciation for it and an audio-booster for those that already enjoy poetry.

I listen regularly, but here's a link to the episode I listened to tonight:

Listened to this poem last night, which just happened to be next episode on #PoetryUnbound which I haven't visited for a while. The subject of a conflict between neighbours over a tree is so insightfully explored by the poet in so many ways.

Philip Metres — One Tree

The branches of a tree hang over a dividing fence — this causes strife between spouses and neighbors, and the poet uses it as a parable for conflict.
