When Ron Padgett heard the poetry to the people segment on his poem “Driveway,” he told This Land Press that, “listening to it was a nice experience, a bit of a joyride, actually.” It made him want to read the poem himself. Here, we give you Padgett reading his own work and telling one story that inspired him to write it. Be sure to check out the poetry to the people segment on his poem.
