A Different Kind of Poetry Broadcast
On Saturday, March 23, 2024, we hosted a special program—a Zoom/YouTube episode entitled "Celebrating Women in Poetry." This profound event was dedicated to honoring Women's History Month through the medium of verse. Through the power of poetry, we invited our audience to immerse themselves in the strength, resilience, and beauty embodied by women's voices. Delve into a rich tapestry of emotions, perspectives, and experiences intricately woven by female poets. Let us come together in appreciation of their remarkable contributions to literature and society. Embark on this poetic journey with us as we pay tribute to the creativity, strength, and unwavering spirit of women through the art of poetry. Featured poets included Naomi Bindman, Mary Louise Kiernan, and Amanda Russell. Audiogram will be accessible on YouTube 4/27/24 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDuhMdCqUI3cJRKj-Jlgabw
