It is hosted by Garrison Keillor, is produced and distributed by Minnesota Public Radio's American Public Media, and is supported by The Poetry Foundation, publisher of Poetry Magazine Each program is about five minutes long, begins with vignettes about authors and some others whose birthdays coincide with the date of the particular program, continues with a heartwarming or soul-searching poem chosen by Keillor from his anthology,"Good Poems for Hard Times," and ends with Keillor's traditional personal sign-off, "Be well, do good work, and keep in touch."
