For some reason, poetry can't seem to shake off its reputation as a staid art form, the pursuit of academics who live quiet lives pondering word choice and meter.
Perhaps that's true in other parts of the country, but that's not the case here in Minnesota.

On The Daily Circuit, we discuss whether or not poetry is enjoying a sort of modern renaissance here in Minnesota, and our guests consider the role technology and social media are playing in helping it along.
