Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Just months after 9/11, Edward Hirsch began his weekly “Poet’s Choice” column in the Washington Post. The poetry helped Americans cope with loss, and introduced — or reintroduced — them to the world’s great poets. Hirsch joins Kojo to explore his favorite poems, and why poetry seems more important than ever today.
