A Lovely Wallpaper

"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.
