Description
"A Lovely Wallpaper" offers up guided memorizations, featuring a new poem each
episode. Proposing
memory work as a challenge to the ephemeral language of our moment, host Abby delivers
an
exploration of each new poem in two parts. In the first act, she chats with a guest
about poetry and memory.
In the second act, she presents the episode's poem, as read by her guest, in a special
format designed to
work as a roadmap to learning it by heart.
