I was graciously invited to read some of my poetry on the 2008 edition of the Princeton Public Library’s Poetry Podcast, which allows poets to share their work visually and verbally in podcast form. It’s a fantastic way to share this kind of information using technology (one of my favorites, WordPress) but also a very fitting and poignant way to celebrate National Poetry Month.

Check out what happened at:

Thanks again to the kind, brilliant, hard working folks at Princeton Public Library for making this possible.

John.
