Poet's Seat Poetry Contest Winner Bob Barba

The Poet's Seat Poetry Contest Ceremony was a blast last week! So many great poets in the Valley, and so much enthusiasm for the craft in one room--it's just amazing to be around all that creative energy.

Here is my article on the winner, Bob Barba, who is a really nice guy with an interesting perspective on life and the arts--and, hey, he writes pretty well too!

Libby Maxey's first poetry collection "Kairos"

Had a wonderful conversation with poet and mother Libby Maxey! She's a well-educated, funny, and insightful woman. Her poetry is just the thing for anyone yearning for a little old-school rhythm and rhyme with a new-school take on contemporary and timeless issues.
