In Three Poems

Hosted by David J. Bauman

Hello!

You're receiving this email because you follow me at DavidJBauman.com, formerly The Dad Poet on WordPress. I still can't believe I've blogged there since 2008!

Because that blog has primarily been about poetry (with some fatherhood and birding thrown in), including my old YouTube and SoundCloud readings, I'm hoping that you'll want to follow this newsletter about my latest project, the In Three Poems podcast!

I'm hoping that you'll listen to some episodes (24 so far!) and tun in on your favorite podcast platforms. We're on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and so many more.

Some Recent Episodes

Chrissy Martin

David reads "Pasta Night with Diagnosis," from Whole, Holy, Hot (Write Bloody, 2026), written by Chrissy Martin. Chrissy reads her poem "Nail Harmony," as well as "BBHMM" by Tiana Clark!

We talk about everything from pop culture poetry to chronic illness and potty mouths!

Carl Phillips

Carl is the author of 17 books of poetry, most recently Scattered Snows, to the North (2024) and Then the War: And Selected Poems 2007-2020, which won the 2023 Pulitzer Prize.

Carl and I talk about the importance of risk taking in the writing of a poem and how the most interesting people are often rule breakers.

Mai-Linh Hong

Continental Drift is the new book by poet and immigration scholar, Dr. Mai-Linh Hong. We each read a poem from her new book, and Mai-Linh reads “ABC for Refugees” by Monica Sok, from A Nail the Evening Hangs On (Copper Canyon Press, 2020).

What home means and how we bridge the miles between when we have more than one are just the beginning of this wonderful conversation.

We're about to conclude Season Two with a reading and discussion with Jake Rose about their book Joan (University of Chicago Press, 2026). I hope you'll listen!

I also hope you'll consider supporting the podcast on our Ko-Fi page. You can give a one time donation or scroll down (on your phone) or to the right (on your computer) to sign up for a $4 membership to receive bonus content that I'm calling The Fourth Poem!

Thanks for following me on this new project!

Gratefully Yours,

David J. Bauman

The Podcast

Hi, I'm David J. Bauman, host of In Three Poems, the podcast where poets read aloud to each other. Each episode features a new guest poet and a lively discussion about how poems connect us and how they talk among themselves. We read two poems by our guest and one by a poet whose work they find especially meaningful to them.

Two Roads Diverged I am willing to bet that unless you've recently read "The Road Not Taken," or you've read a certain book by by David Orr, this poem doesn't say what you think it says. Support the Podcast Maybe what I should say that what it that the poem is far more interesting than the "I did it my way-rugged-individualism" slogans that get printed on posters and coffee mugs. Watch the video and make a comment to let me know what you think. My commentary on it is coming soon! You can...
