Verse 3

May 25, 2022


Introducing Blank Verse, a podcast from 92Y’s Teen Producers in collaboration with the Unterberg Poetry Center.

We’re Gabrielle, Naomi and Jennifer, the creators and hosts of Blank Verse: a podcast that explores writing, media, and the Center’s archive of recorded public events. We interpret the term “blank verse” to be a space where we have freedom to create without restriction. We believe that anything can be made out of everything. We have fun, dynamic conversations that we want to share with others.

Our fourth episode, titled “Verse 3,” focuses exclusively on an in-person interview we conducted with the writers Kaveh Akbar and John Murillo before their recent event at 92NY. We got to know them better (through more than just our computer screens). We focused on questions about their personal life, writing styles, and influences. We talked about John’s poem “Dolores, Maybe” and Kaveh’s titled “Gloves.” We learned about their techniques, preferences, and how they view their art and themselves as artists. Though we had not met them in person before the interview, we found ourselves really comfortable when talking to them. Our conversation was short but so impactful to all three of us. We hope you guys are able to find yourself building a connection with Kaveh and John through this podcast. Be sure to check out more of their work too!

We urge you all to take some time to find new writers that make you more passionate about the arts in the 92Y’s Archive.

Happy listening,
G, N, J
