Walter Bargen featured on Poetry from Daily Life

Hi everyone,

Today it is my pleasure to bring you the link to WALTER BARGEN’S column featured on Poetry from Daily Life. https://www.news-leader.com/story/entertainment/2025/01/12/poetry-from-daily-life-expand-your-circumference-be-explorer/77561885007/

I’m delighted to have Missouri’s very first poet laureate as my guest today. We’ve also heard from two other former PLs, MARYFRANCES WAGNER and WILLIAM TROWBRIDGE. Still to come: KAREN CRAIGO and ALIKI BARNSTONE.

This week more than 100,000 readers in six newspapers will have an opportunity to read Walter’s column. If you share it through your own media network, we extend readership by many more. Thank you. And thank YOU, Walter Bargen!
