    A way to think poetically
    If you’ve ever thought or come to believe that poetry can sometimes feel like it hides behind a veil of symbols, abstractions, and vague hues, then this channel from the creative process is an excellent way to uncover the flow of poetic thought from the writers themselves. Highly recommend for both poets and non-poets alike!

    Soothing
    Listening to the poetry podcasts are some of my favorite podcasts on the creative process. Each time I feel so soothed and deeply touched. Listening to the words of these poets along with their stories and perspectives feels like such direct wisdom. I really recommend these podcasts for relaxing and mind and heart rejuvenation!

    Lens into Creativity
    Love the deep dive into poets' creative processes for their projects. Very interesting to understand how they create art that not only is riveting but also reflective of societal changes and thought provoking ideas.

    Poetry’s not dead
    We need more podcasts like this. Thoughtful engagement and community building is so important to rekindle the kinds of impacts poetry can have on people. I really recommend a the Creative Process.

    For Poetry Lovers
    If you’re interested in poetry, this is the right channel for you.

    Insightful and motivational
    Honestly, for my whole life, I’ve been trying to understand myself. I consider myself a creative person, but sometimes being in the wrong place can diminish who you are meant to be. After weeks of listening to the guests and their experiences, I’ve realized that there are people who use art not only to transform their own world but also to inspire and impact the lives of others. This podcast aims at it!

    So much creative and insightful thinking
    I thoroughly enjoyed this podcast. Poets always seem to know the perfect way of expressing such complex issues, it’s nice to get to hear them elaborate on their thoughts in a longer form.
  • NatalieMcCarthyy
    So engaging and insightful
    I love the way that this podcast approaches the world through a poetic lens, grounding everything in humanity. It covers such important topics and I think that the artistic foundations really helps me to connect with the subject matters.
  • S. Classen
    Really enjoy listening to all the great poems and poets!
    I have always enjoyed the artistic format and structure of poetry that highlights interpersonal emotions, unique ideas and subliminal thoughts. On the surface level, many poems are just shadows of artistic compositions, however this show unpacks the hidden meanings and what the poets intended to convey. I not only appreciate the thought and stylistic expression within discussed poems but also how they can relate to oneself, the world, and the poet. I had a great time listening to poems by writers such as Neil Gaiman, Alice Fulton, Mia Funk and such. The occasional background music is a nice and soothing touch too!

    Lovely
    Poetry is so important and complex! I love hearing Mia cover this form of art and poets have so much to say about the current state of our world and they say it beautifully in so few words
  • Hannah Lumi
    A gorgeous account!
    This podcast is truly awe-inspiring! I believe the written word to be our most powerful account of history, human emotion etc. Hearing the personal passions/techniques of each of the guests here is not only deeply touching, but motivating to young artists. Just great!

    Improved my writing
    The flawless and unique technique and style of each work very much influenced me. I love so many of the poems featured, they delve into topics beyond that of the world of traditional poetry. Groundbreaking guests
  • Ray Mra Min
    Love this podcast!
    This podcast channel is a true delight for book enthusiasts. The hosts' passion and deep literary knowledge make it my go-to for engaging discussions. They cover a diverse range of genres and themes, from classics to contemporary novels, offering something for every reader's taste. Their insightful discussions and guest interviews enhance my appreciation of literature, and the top-notch audio quality keeps me engrossed.
  • Amy X Chen
    Just poetic
    I think there is a way that poets talk that is so intriguing and genuine and special; maybe because they are so passionate and creative with words and rhythm that it reflects in their normal speech. I find these speakers just really lovely to listen to no matter what they say - of course their answers are always so profound and resonating
  • allegramwalker
    Love for Poets!
    It’s nice to see so much love for poets and see a space where modern-day poetry is accessible. I especially am a fan of the interview with Sonnet L’Abbe—perhaps it’s because I love Shakespeare, but L’Abbe’s discussion with Mia on how to deconstruct and reconstruct words is incredible. Looking forward to more!

    Andri Snær Magnason and Ada Limón
    Such a treat to get to hear from writers like Andri Snær Magnason and Ada Limón!

    A Beautiful Collective
    Poetry is such a wide ranging genre of art, and The Creative Process had created a one stop shop to hear from all different kinds of poets which I love!! If not for this podcast I wouldn't have heard of some of this amazing poets and I’m so happy that I have

    Jericho Brown and Ada Limon
    The Creative Process’s Poetry channel is an incredible crossroads of many others; exploring intersections of contemporaneous issues, the works of pioneering poets, and diverse materials from Jericho Brown’s recollection of his church’s lyricism and routine to Ada Limon’s interwoven dialogue between fauna and fertility. A joy to listen in to!

    Diverse Perspectives, Creative Minds
    The language of poetry speaks to the soul, and learning from poets deepens the potential for creative thought. At large, the Creative Process is unusual in its scope - interviews from a diverse set of the top creative minds in arts, technology, media, environmentalism, philosophy, and spirituality among other fields of interest. Yet, what the Creative Process does really well is tie together these creative minds within a global project to educate, inform and protect the world for future generations. The production quality and music create an immersive experience, with consistent output of episodes. Each episode has a HIGHLIGHTS mini-summary if you’re on a rush and just want to digest the main points. I highly recommend the Creative Process to anyone that wants to learn from some of the greatest minds in the world.
  • Donna__ms
    Beautiful, thoughtful conversations!
    Poetry is an endless, ever-evolving genre that deserves to be better appreciated and critically studied. Thank you, Creative Process, for opening eyes and minds to this cathartic, profoundly personal art form that brings hearts and minds together. These conversations galvanize me to experiment artistically and educate myself in new styles, techniques, points of view…
  • sabhk
    us, alive, right here. feeling lucky.
    As a lover of poetry, I’ve listened to quite a few of these episodes, and what sticks out of me is the title of this review, which is a line from The Conditional by Ada Limón, who was a guest on one of my favorite episodes. I’m inspired, deeply, by the ability to continue on despite all of the difficulty in the world, and I am always fascinated by how this is communicated through words and writing. The Conditional showcases how over time, human beings continue in their resiliency. It is always refreshing to remember.
  • Henie Zhang
    Rich and thought provoking
    I adored (dare I say, loved) the recent Love episode. And discovering a new or past interview with a poet I’ve read is always a delight!! The topics and questions in the interviews get to both the heart of the artist’s unique work/ writing philosophy (which are interesting to compare) and dive into what makes a Good Life for us as children/ parents/ planetary citizens, etc. The highlights are convenient and delicious nuggets of thought for when you’re busy. As a student, I’m also always excited to hear other students discuss their thoughts and research!
  • katcam:)
    Sonnet L’Abbé
    Really interested in this conversation of language as an inscripting force. The english language has so many opportunities to shape our perception—as poets how do we combat this? L’Abbé saying (in the Korean model) “the seeing is a relationship in between.” And Mia, “grammar can give us a long review of history.” The English language inseparable from colonial thinking—so where do we begin the process of separation? Ada Limón also speaks of the language of reciprocity, how do we let the world retain it’s difference—how to resist transcending the bird into immediate metaphor or symbol. We have no choice but to participate in language, but we can choose to build it out, begin a reshaping.

    An Insider View
    I appreciate being able to listen to the perspectives of the many speakers featured, and saw how that influenced their creative approach. Broadcasting and publicizing insight from the writers themselves helps us as the audience understand the meaning behind their work, and The Creative Process does a wonderful job with this!
  • ajhkopYuoljjnl
    Wonderful writers and personal stories
    I hope you never stop doing this serious!
  • IndigoPM
    Great cast of diverse artists
    If you want to hear from great names in art, writing, music, and more this podcast is for you. But there are tons of podcasts that interview the big shots. More exciting for me, were new names. I have found no better podcast for discovering new artists. My personal favorite episode, and a great place to start is Sonnet L’Abbé.
  • 29clairet
    Love hearing poets read their work!
    Listening to poets’ stories is so lovely! I love that the podcast often includes readings, and it is very interesting to hear where different artists get their inspiration. Although I’m not very knowledgeable about poetry myself, I still think this podcast does well to show how it can be relevant and touch people in a special way that only art can. I loved the Jericho Brown and Ada Limon episodes!
  • calliemcho
    Great for Creative Writers
    Hearing poets speak about their work and process is so enlightening. As a poet myself, I find these interviews engaging and helpful in my own writing processes. If you are a creative writer (or even if you’re not!), this podcast is engaging and informative.
  • Mac gal funny
    Creatives are Everywhere
    This podcast is an excellent way to find art and creativity in every realm of life. Science, math, the humanities—they all have art and creativity intertwined in them. Creatives are always developing their processes and adding pieces of themselves and their minds to their work, and this podcast exemplifies the beauty of finding art of every part of life. Listen to this podcast to learn about the development of creatives from all fields and walks of life.
  • Jamie Lammers
    I love this!
    I love poetry and writing in general, and podcasts that talk about it are right up my alley! The Creative Process brings together so many different perspectives and interesting artists to interview and their wealth of interesting tidbits will keep me interested in the podcast for a long time! I'm definitely excited to check out more!
  • Parker Blumentritt
    Fantastic Podcast Series!
    The Creative Process is a fantastic podcast series. I love how each episode has a unique focus and each of the guests have such different backgrounds and perspectives! The breadth of stories, information, and ideas is so vast, and I am always excited to see what each new episode will be about!

    An Overflow of Good Conversation
    I love listening to the Creative Process! They bring so many interesting people from a wide variety of backgrounds. Bestselling and award-winning authors, Emmy-nominated directors, experts in social change—they have it all! I learn so much from this podcast!
  • MegMeg_Cupcakes
    WOW!!
    I absolutely love listening to podcasts from The Creative Process. They are so informative and I love how I get to learn a lot along the way. I especially love the podcast about Jericho Brown, who is a poet. His way of showing his thought process into writing really inspired how I look at my writing. It was a great way to see other perspectives.
  • Zara the unpredictable
    Amazing Podcast
    This podcast really brings forth discussion opportunities for the arts. I am usually looking forward to seeing what guests they have next and basking in so much creativity. Highly recommended
  • Andrew blue man
    An Appreciated Nuance
    The podcast takes on both fresh and veteran interviews with thought provoking discussion. The podcast market is saturated with a over abundance of a similar “type” of interview or meaningless discussion. This is where The Creative Process distinguishes itself regarding arts, culture, the environment, politics, and science.
  • Lyn G. G.
    Amazing and important work!
    So inspiring, I learn so much every time I listen! I highly recommend this podcast to everyone. You are doing great work here for the world and I think everyone deserves to know about it. The same goes for all of your podcasts!
  • lsf48
    amazing!!
    one of my favorite podcasts! always recommend for a combination of education, human interest, and the arts!
  • Por Jaijongkit
    Great poetry insights!
    Poetry is definitely a form of writing/art I feel like doesn't get enough attention, so it's great that this podcast is here to combine all sorts of poets to talk about their creative process and to demystify what can look like a very intimidating form of art!
  • artsactivist
