Sandra Alcosser, plus Roger Dunsmore, Judy Blunt, David Romtvedt, and Kate Northrop
This week on The Write Question, Sandra Alcosser (Montana's first Poet Laureate) and I talk about an impressive new collection: NEW POETS OF THE AMERICAN WEST, edited by Lowell Jaeger.
During the program, you'll hear poems read by Alcosser, including two of her own that were published in the collection, plus recordings of Roger Dunsmore, Judy Blunt, David Romtvedt (WY), and Kate Northrop (WY) reading their poetry.
What makes this book so impressive, in my opinion, is that all the poems are what I call "accessible." They are stories told by and about real people -- people from all parts of our society: cowboys and cowgirls, English professors, deck hands, homemakers, and so on.
I invite you to tune in or listen online:

Jan Umphrey posted a blog postCall for manuscripts about your work in humanities-based classes
I'm the editor of a magazine, Principal Leadership, which is published by NASSP and has about 25,000 readers.
