About Poetry Unbound
Welcome.
This is a home for both poetry lovers and the poetry-curious, that grew out of the Poetry Unbound podcast hosted by poet and theologian Pádraig Ó Tuama, one of many offerings from The On Being Project. This newsletter is a companion to the show. All that’s required is a curiosity towards what you might meet — in the poetry, in others who you’ll meet here, in yourself — and how your life will rise to meet it all in turn.
Poetry as a Doorway
Poems can be thought of as doors opening up to the world of the poet — and doors to open up the world of a reader. A poem is often made up of stanzas, and stanza is the Italian word for room.
