The Quoetry Podcast

A quotation and a poem, met as one.

Each episode, Quoetry pairs a single quotation with a single poem, a quoem, if you will, leaving small Easter eggs of meaning in their combination. Hosted by Thom Jenkins.

What is a quoem?

A quotation and a poem, curated as a pair, so that each illuminates the other.

01

A quotation

A line from a thinker, writer, or leader worth sitting with.

02

A poem

A poem chosen to echo, question, or deepen the quotation.

03

A quoem

The two together, an Easter egg of meaning, read aloud.
