Arji"s Poetry Pickle Jar

Arji Manuelpillai

Arji"s Poetry Pickle Jar is a place where we pickle the poems you"ll love. Each week we invite a published poet into the studio to share a poem they love. We dismantle and dissect it, we open it up so you the listener can see it in a completely new way. This podcast is for newcomers and professionals, for teachers, young people and for everyone in between.
