Poetry Medicine for the Soul, a podcast hosted by John Gillespie, invites poets to share and examine poetry. While the 2025 National Poetry Month is over, Poetry Medicine for the Soul is still celebrating. Episode 24 features Margaret Haberman reading “Rounding Ballast Key” by George Murphy. Margaret and John then explore the question: What does National Poetry Month mean to you?

Her poems have also been selected for the Maine Public Radio program Poems from Here. Margaret and Meg Weston co-authored a book of poems, To the Point and Back: Swimming Poems, which came out in 2024.
