Poets & Writers Theater

Philip Metres, author of Fugitive/Refuge (Copper Canyon Press, 2024), and Jessica Jacobs, author of unalone (Four Way Books, 2024), speak about the coincidence of their shared book-cover imagery and themes of faith and ancestry in their new poetry collections for this episode of “The Sound of Ideas” morning program from Ideastream in Cleveland.

In this 2021 video, Jessica Jacobs reads David Wagoner’s poem “Lost” and talks about why she chose it for “The Poem I Wish I Had Read” series produced by the Boutelle-Day Poetry Center at Smith College. Jacobs’s new poetry collection, unalone, was published in March by Four Way Books.
