Default Conversation with Poets: Maryann Corbett and Athena Kildegaard

On Oct. 11 at Southwest Minnesota State University, I moderated a conversation with Minnesota poets Maryann Corbett and Athena Kildegaard about their poetry. Both poets also read a number of their poems to illustrate their comments. Maryann Corbett should be well known to you all. She was reading from her most recent book, Street View. Athena Kildegaard mainly writes free verse and was reading from her latest book, Ventriloquy, among others. Here is the link, in case you would like to listen to the conversation:

Thanks, indeed, Susan! It's great to see you both again.

I've just watched up to the 17 minute mark -- your readings are terrific, Maryann! Spoon is wonderful -- and your explanations of where and how poems might begin is really interesting. It brings back of flood of memories of your very first reading -- and what those two students in the audience said to me afterwards. They had no idea what they'd stumbled in on in that back room, and they were mesmerised! Your readings are so well paced, so clear. I can think as I listen!

Thank you both! I'll get a cup of tea and continue listening now.

Cally

So good to hear from you, Cally! And those memories are precious to me, too.
