'PoeticA is dedicated to the performance of poetry and ranges freely among contemporary Australian and overseas work as well as drawing on ancient sources and from bi-lingual programs, live readings, studio-based poetry features and on-location recordings.'

PoeticA aims not simply to reflect on radio the rich world of poetry, but to re-create that world in radio terms, with generous use of music and sound to "place" the poems. The emphasis is on entertainment and letting the poetry speak for itself.'

The programme is presented by Mike Ladd (q.v.).
