Welcome to the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation's KZread channel where you can see video highlights from past Dodge Foundation Poetry Festivals, some of which have been featured on PBS. Over the years a remarkable group of poets from around the world has read to enthusiastic audiences and discussed a broad range of topics related to poetry. These topics have included: the life of the artist, the nature of the art, and poetry's relation to many other aspects of life ― from politics, class, and race to spirituality and the environment.
Beginning in 1986 multi-day Dodge Poetry Festivals have been held every other year, usually in the highlands of New Jersey, and they have always attracted a diverse audience of poetry lovers. Recent Festivals have drawn audiences numbering between fifteen and twenty thousand people. Now you can be there with us. Enjoy!

সকল ধর্মের আওয়াজ সত্যবলো। আমার মনে হয় তসলিমা সত্যবলে, তাই সে ধার্মিক । তসলিমার কথা বুঝতে শিক্ষিত হইতে হইবে। এই তসলিমা সারাবিশ্বে সমাদ্রিত হইবে, সময়ের ব্যপার। Tislima Nasreen says these things but a little harshly. Taslima, let the wealth of Bangladesh come to the homeland, let the world make people aware, this awareness is

Poor Billy Collins. He is undoubtably one of our greatest living poets, but until he addresses the ills of today's society he will never win the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry?

Very much enjoyed your poems-especially the last heartbreaking one. I was in the Viet Nam war and fortunate to emerge alive. Thank the Lord. I, too, am a Poet but specialize in Japanese forms: i. e. haiku, tanka, haibun, kyoka, senryu. I hope you don’t mind me sharing a tanka and my haiku tribute poem to Bashō’s frog with commentary by the late AHA founder and poet Jane Reichhold who considered my poem among her top 10 haiku of all time. What an honor. Here’s the Bashō poem and commentary: Bashō’s frog four hundred years of ripples Here’s the commentary by Jane: At first the idea of picking only 10 of my favorite haiku seemed a rather daunting task. How could I review all the haiku I have read in my life and decide that there were only 10 that were outstanding? Then realized I was already getting a steady stream of excellent haiku day by day through the AHA forum. The puns and write-offs based on Basho's most famous haiku are so numerous I would have said that nothing new could be said with this method, but here Al Fogel proved me wrong. Perhaps part of my delight in this haiku lies in the fact that I agree with him. Here he is saying one thing about realism-ripples are on a pond after a frog jumps in, but because it refers back to Basho and his famous haiku, he is also saying something about the haiku and authors who have followed him. We, and our work, are just ripples while Basho holds the honor of inventing the idea of "the sound of a frog leaping is the sound of water". As haiku spreads around the world, making ripples in more and larger ponds, its ripples are wider-including us all. But his last word reminds us all that we are only ripples and our lives are that ephemeral. It will be the frogs that will remain. And my tanka: returning home from a Jackson Pollock exhibition I smear my face with paint and turn into art ~ -All love in isolation from Miami Beach, Florida. Al
Bill Collins is a master of allegory-
2 Haiku: cattle cars between slats human eyes ~~ Stutthof the stench of smoke from the chimneys -Al Fogel
An emotional poem carried by its broken repetition; very well done
Full house, pin drop silence, and few Bangladeshi though they are more wise than these educated people....

I took a poetry class with him in San Jose I think in 2019. He is a performer to be sure, I think his Dad was an actor in My Greek Wedding...
