"Every weekday, U.S. Poet Laureate Tracy K. Smith delivers a different way to see the world – through poetry." A great selection of poems and a model of how to talk about poems, both their structure and meaning.
Example: "Black cricket in the doorway, on the ceiling, in"

Example: "Featuring Nicole Shante"
