Verse 2

Apr 30, 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 third episode titled “Verse 2,” focuses on the very thing that inspired us to start this podcast, poetry. In our past episodes we’ve talked about other writers and their impact on our thinking but we feel like we haven’t given you all a proper introduction to us. As April is National Poetry Month we wanted to celebrate our own work as writers. We explore the start of our journey as readers, our favorite books, and our personal goals. Despite being teenagers, we’ve all been able to find comfort in writing and reading starting back in Pre-K. We all truly love writing in different ways and that’s ok. This episode is a little different than usual but through it we were able to learn more about each other and hope that you all are able to appreciate our authentic journeys.

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 National Poetry Month!

Happy listening,
G, N, J
