| Special note: |
On Sunday, July 14, 2002, this
poem was read on National Public Radio's "The Next Big Thing."
The program is hosted on New York's leading NPR station, WNYC,
by Dean Olsher. The show ran twice, at 11 AM and 1 PM. Reading
the poem was Alice Quinn, president of the PSA and poetry editor
for the New Yorker Magazine.
The poem was chosen from over
400 entries to represent the Adult category of the Poetry in Motion Contest, sponsored by the
Poetry Society of America (PSA). Winning poems appear on NYC
MTA subways and buses, along with the likes of Tennyson and Hopkins.
Unfortunately, I did not win the contest, but having the poem
read on NPR was a thrill and an honor.
