Welcome to another episode of the Poetically Yours Extended podcast. This month's featured poet is Aubrey Barnes.
Barnes, a Rock Island native, recently completed a residency at Château d'Orquevaux in France. He is the founder of Young Lions Roar, an organization created for young poets. He also supports adult poets by offering workshops, a spoken-word platform called Roaring Rhetoric, coaching and other opportunities for writers. In this episode, he discusses that work and his approach to supporting poets.
