Welcome back to The Corner's Celebration of National Poetry Month! Here we are at the last day of The Corner's celebration of the 30th anniversary of National Poetry Month! 30 Days and 30 different celebrations of poetry and poets! In this episode, I focus on the one and only Andrea Gibson and their poetry! When I started on this month long celebration, I wanted to be sure to include Andrea Gibson. Their life and work and how they lived has been, and continues to be, a deep inspiration for how I approach this experience called life. With that, I dedicate this episode to the life and work and memory of Andrea Gibson. Their impact is evergreen. To paraphrase how they signed my copy of Pansy... With gratitude. I keep writing. I keep loving.

To Andrea Gibson, 8/13/1975 - 7/14/2025

Welcome back to The Corner's Celebration of National Poetry Month! We're winding down folks! Day 29 already! Wild, right? In this installment, I explore the poetry of another friend of The Corner, Miss Ebony Stewart! Though it is safe to say that I recommend ALL of her poetry, I focus most of my attention on the collection titled, BloodFresh. Press play!

Welcome back to The Corner's Celebration of National Poetry Month! It's Day 28 already. Man, why does time move so fast!? Fast like a cheetah, so to speak. Speaking of the phrase, "so to speak", I've got more poetry to tell you about! If you've heard the other days of my celebration of National Poetry Month, you've heard me speak highly of a poet named Terrence Hayes. Here's the thing, he's not just a trusted name in recommending and analyzing brilliant poetry, he is a brilliant poet himself! Listen in as I talk about his newest collection, So To Speak!
