Next Thursday - Feb 28 will celebrate Wales

Friday, March 1st is St. David's Day, the patron saint of Wales.  So, Thursday, Feb. 28th show will be a celebration of Wales. I am sure there will be something by Dylan Thomas, but there will be more.

W.H. Auden

This Thursday will be a morning dedicated to W.H. Auden, 21 Feb. 1907 - 29 Sept. 1973. We may have Erika Pfander come join as a guest reader. Check it out. 7 am Thursday.  

valentines day

This Thursday is Valentine's day and the show will be all love poems of various kinds.
Sounds like fun.

For Feb 7 It is Mr. Verne

Well, I have settled on Mr. Jules Verne for the show on Feb. 7.  On Feb. 8, it will be his 185th birthday.
His stories are well known to me, but I have never read them. So, this will be the day to begin a new friendship. Yay.

Thoughts for Feb 7 show round 1

I thought originally about Charles Dickens, as it will be his birthday on Feb 7.  But much was said about him last year on the 200th anniversary of his birth. It is also Sinclair Lewis' birthday, and Laura Ingalls Wilder. And on the 8th of Feb. we have John Ruskin, Elizabeth Bishop and Jules Verne's birthday.  There is much to choose from for this next weeks show. Any opinions?
