I was interviewed for the National Poetry Month episode of the podcast L-Town Radio. The host, Joe O'Brien is a multi-hyphenate librarian-poet-musicmaker at the Livingston Public Library in New Jersey, which is the town where I spent several decades as an English teacher.
We had a long conversation, and I talked about my experiences as an English teacher, teaching poetry and writing poetry. We got into my invented form, the "Ronka," and about how writing a poem is like "finding the angel within."
The interview is broken into parts and mixed with library staff reading favorite poems, and news of the library.
