On August 19th, Mary Jo Salter's poem "Midsummer, Georgia Avenue" was featured on NPR's The Writer's Almanac. The poem, which is set in Sewanee (at Stirling's Coffee House to be exact), originally appeared in Salter's collection Open Shutters. Click here to listen to the poem.
The very next day, Mark Strand's poem "Mirror" from his collection Man and Camel was featured. You can listen to that reading here.
On the 21st of August, The Writer's Almanac presented "Brotherhood" by X. J. Kennedy, which can be found in his collection In a Prominent Bar in Secaucus: New and Selected Poems, 1955-2007.
Congratulations to all three writers.
