As we mentioned in this week's cover story, we've set up a dial-a-poem service so you can hear many of the poems first published in this week's poetry issue, as read by the poets themselves. It's not an original idea by any stretch, but we're happy to continue the tradition. If you hate listening to voicemail, this might just change your opinion. (No, we can't just text you the poems.)

Call Dial-a-Poem at (347) 618-6376. (Touch-tone phones, only!)
