welcome to table for deuce

Welcome to the official Table For Deuce website. We’re your hosts, Kate Hanson Foster & Michael Schmeltzer. Let me tell you a little bit about our project.

Review-centered & humor-forward, Table For Deuce (T4D) is a poetry podcast (AKA “the Table”) and publishing platform (AKA “the Seat”) whose aim is to highlight poetry and create honest, thoughtful, and dynamic engagement around art.  What started off as a simple podcast between friends is evolving to be a hub for honest discussions, thoughtful reviews, and dynamic poetry.

Our website is a centralized location where you can find all our podcasts, the wonderful work we publish via our journal The Seat: Poetry & Reviews, as well as our blog which will feature various updates and reviews (including single poem reviews) written by us.

Although we have a steady post, publication, and podcast cycle, you may notice we don't do standard journal issues. We want to create a more meditative, focused publication style to combat the hectic nature of social media. Every poem and review we publish deserves space to breathe. They deserve the undivided attention of our audience, and at the very least, our extended attention as editors. We do our best to provide that by publishing one piece at a time and sharing it numerous ways.

We hope you say, explore, and enjoy what you find here. Who knows? Maybe you’ll even discover some Easter Eggs from time to time hidden in an author bio or in a blog post…

Welcome everyone to Table For Deuce.
