Celebrating National Poetry Month, Locally

April 1st means it is time for... poetry. Didn't quite expect that ending on April Fools Day, did you? But it's true, National Poetry Month takes place in April, a chance to celebrate poetry and its many creators.

So we do just that with three guests: Eileen Bobek of Rebel Heart Books in Jacksonville, which hosts poetry events. She is joined by Diana Coogle, whose latest poetry book is From Friend to Wife to Widow: Six Brief Years (Diana's husband died in May, 2020). And Kim Hamilton rounds out the panel; her collection Calling Through Water came out in 2020.

We hear poetry, stories of poetry, and stories of the poets.
