Review of What is Poetry?

As a Sandburg fan, I would be interested in hearing this piece and would be concerned if it was not done with the appropriate respect. It succeeds on all counts.
It is clear this is a contemporary production, but the accompanying music is totally appropriate and tasteful. It's clear the producer has an affinity for the subject, and the warmth of Sandburg sails through.
I am not sure if the question posed by the title of the piece is answered. Nor am I sure that is important.
We need more work like this on the radio.
