Welcome to another episode of the Poetically Yours extended podcast.
April is National Poetry month and WNIJ felt it would be fitting to share a conversation between two inaugural poet laureates. Karen Fullett-Christensen is the first poet laureate of Aurora, Illinois and Christine is the first one for Rockford, Illinois. They shared how this world forced them to write about things they wouldn’t have normally written about, how it felt to be a poet laureate during the pandemic, and what their next adventures are.
- Yvonne Boose is a current corps member for Report for America, an initiative of the GroundTruth Project. It's a national service program that places talented journalists in local newsrooms like WNIJ. You can learn more about Report for America at wnij.org.
