David Gewanter on PBS NewsHour

Posted in Announcement

David Gewanter appeared on PBS NewsHour to discuss the relevance of poetry in our modern world. 

Is poetry dead, too slow for our wired, sound-bitten world?

Gewanter, a poet, essayist and editor, offers his humble opinion on why verse remains relevant.

Congratulations, David!
