What a treat

Today was the first time that the show had a live poet, Joanna Hynd. She is a graduate of the University of Maine and majored in English with a specialty of poetry. She is also the acting head librarian at the Thomaston Public Library. It was such a treat to hear her poems, and read by her. The live element of poetry is a wonderful treat.

This week we will have the first guest poet join the show, Joanna Hynd. She is a graduate of U. Maine and studied poetry. She is not acting librarian at the Thomaston Public Library. Recently she organized a poetry reading at the library and I was very impressed by her fresh energy, sincere, and poignant work.

May 10

Sad news about the passing of Maurice Sendak, I will read some of his works this Thursday, May 10 along with Shel Silverstein - May 9th is the is the 13th anniversary of his death. So it is good to read these two together at this time of the year. A morning of childhood delight. Yea! On Thursday, May 17th, Joanna Hynd will join me to read some of her poems, along with some of her favorite poems. She studied poetry and writing and is a local poet. It is always a treat to hear poetry in the voice of a poet.
