The eleventh video in our P.O.P series features award-winning poet D. Nurkse.

Produced by poet and photographer Rachel Eliza Griffiths, P.O.P is a video series featuring contemporary American poets who read both an original poem and a poem by another poet, after which they reflect on their choice. What results is an evolving, multifaceted conversation among poets about the art form. In April 2014, the Academy of American Poets partnered with Griffiths to release the P.O.P video series throughout the year on Poets.org.
