After downloading the Poetry Foundation's new iPhone app, I was curious to discover the poetry gems we might have here on the Ampers website. It turns out we've got a pretty good selection of poetry-related stories from three member stations. WTIP in Grand Marais has a show titled, "Poetry Times Three," featuring the work of Yvonne Rutford, Ryan Vine and Julie Gard. Radio K explores slam poetry and a university magazine that publishes student poetry. And KFAI discovers a new poetry movement called "flarf." Flarf poets often use strange Google searches to create literary mash-ups.

Check out these stories:
