Description

Our second season of The Glimpse is here, featuring lively conversations between poets about their work and about poems that inspire them.

Our host for this season, Seán Hewitt, interviews poets connected to Ireland, including Irish, Northern Irish, and diasporic poets. Guest poets for Season 2 include Victoria Kennefick, Mícheál McCann, Nithy Kasa, Kit Fryatt, Martina Evans, Stephen Sexton, Gustav Parker Hibbett, and Jane Clarke. As in our first season, each guest chooses two poems to read and discuss: one they’ve written, and one by another poet.

The Glimpse is produced by the Adrian Brinkerhoff Poetry Foundation, with new episodes available each Tuesday starting in March 2025.

About the host: Seán Hewitt is a poet, memoirist, novelist, and literary critic. His award-winning books across genres include Tongues of Fire, All Down Darkness Wide, and the forthcoming Open, Heaven.

If you haven’t had the opportunity to check out our first season with host Camille Rankine, give it a listen. Rankine is an author, poet, and professor. Her books include Incorrect Merciful Impulses and the chapbook Slow Dance with Trip Wire. Her conversations with John Murillo, Ama Codjoe, Kaveh Akbar, Hafizah Geter, Chen Chen, Solmaz Sharif, Rachel McKibbens, and Omotara James are thoughtful, reverent, and spirited.
