Poetically Yours Extended Podcast - Rhonda Parsons

Rhonda Parsons

Welcome to the Poetically Yours Extended Podcast. Every week, Poetically Yours lets you hear the voices of some northern Illinois poets and a few from other areas. The Friday segment only gives you a glimpse of the poet’s essence, but it doesn't show the full picture. This monthly podcast serves as a backdrop for the weekly show. This month's featured poet is Rhonda Parsons. Parsons talks about her inspiration for writing and why she thinks poetry is a vehicle that helps her make the world a better place.

Yvonne covers artistic, cultural, and spiritual expressions in the COVID-19 era. This could include how members of community cultural groups are finding creative and innovative ways to enrich their personal lives through these expressions individually and within the context of their larger communities. Boose is a recent graduate of the Illinois Media School and returns to journalism after a career in the corporate world.
