Fourteen Poets, Far and Near, Reading Their Poems Andy's Treasure Trove

What to do during the COVID era when it's too dangerous to interview someone in person? Get a bunch of your poet friends to read their poems to your listeners. I realized that I have at least ten friends who are poets, some of them highly celebrated poets, and I had already recorded some of them reading their poetry. Several other poet friends wrote new poetry for this show and sent their recordings to me. Most of the poets you’ll be hearing are from California, and I live in Arizona now where I know only two poets (so far) so I’ve also included several poets from this year’s Tucson Poetry Festival, which occurred a few weeks ago, on-line because of the COVID crisis.
List of poets/poems:
Neil Harvey – Zoom Word
Jon Hammerbeck – Accidental Droppings
David Hammerbeck – 4-3-20
Susan Thackrey – Selections from Andalusia: The Farewell / How do you…; Mourning in Al Andaluse / Alba; Walnut / Eyelid; The Moon / Look How…
Ralph Jack (Ralph Gutlohn) – Acceptable Limits; Be Like Concrete; At The Bottom Of A Glance
Ken Paul Rosenthal – Where Icarus Flew
Kara Daddario Bown – Graceland; Safety in Numbers
Waz Thomas – Falling Water; I Walk, I Stumble, I Fall; Susanville; No!
William Pitt Root – Ways Water Has; Ode To A Frog
Pam Uschuk – Green Flame; Cracking 100
Bojan Louis - Huzzle 8
