While primarily known as a poet, Ciardi pursued etymology, contributed to the Saturday Review as a columnist and long-time poetry editor, directed the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference in Vermont, and recorded commentaries for National Public Radio. In 1959, Ciardi published a book on how to read, write, and teach poetry, How Does a Poem Mean?, which has proven to be among the most-used books of its kind. In the following recordings, Ciardi reads \"And They Lived Happily Ever After For Awhile,\" \"To Judith, I,\" \"Happiness,\" and \"The Lamb.\"","brand":"Listen \u0026 Live Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":51233159250224,"sku":"BDqmwl","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/qmwl-Square-cover.jpg?v=1774991031","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-qmwl","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
