The New Yorker: Poetry · Mark Wunderlich Reads Spencer Reece · 26 Aug 2026 podcast

Hi, you're listening to the New Yorker Poetry Podcast.

I'm Kevin Young, Poetry Editor of the New Yorker magazine.

On this program, we invite a poet to select a poem from the New Yorker archive to read and discuss.

Then, they read one of their own poems that's been published in the magazine.

Today, my guest is Mark Wunderlich.

He's the author of five books of poems, including The Anchorage, which received the Lambda Literary Award.

The Earth of Veils, which received the Rulka Prize, and God of Nothingness, which was published in twenty twenty one.

His new book, Mighty, is forthcoming from Greyville Press.

Mark, welcome.

Thanks for joining.

Thanks so much, Kevin.

I'm glad to be here.

It's so good to see you.

So the first poem you've chosen to read is My Great Grandmother's Bible by Spencer Rees.

What was it about this poem that caught your eye when you were looking through the archives?

Wonderful.

Why don't we hear it?

Here's Mark Wonderlich reading My Great Grandmother's Bible by Spencer Reese.

That was my great grandmother's Bible by Spencer Reese, which was originally published on the november second, two thousand nine issue of The New Yorker.

Wow, what a great poem and so well read.
