Michael Salinger coming to Poetry from Daily Life

Hi everyone,

This weekend my guest on Poetry from Daily Life will be MICHAEL SALINGER, who lives in Mentor, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland. He and his mate, SARAH HOLBROOK, have visited schools across the United States and more than 50 other countries, providing author visits, professional development and classroom workshops in writing, comprehension strategies. Michael’s advice? “The easiest way to incorporate poetry into one’s daily life is not to read or write poetry.” What? Well that’s Michael and his sense of humor. You know he’s not going to leave it at that.

Michael’s thought provoking column will appear in print in Springfield News-Leader on Saturday (Have I thanked you recently, Editor-in-Chief AMOS BRIDGES?) and in the e-edition on Sunday. I’ll share the link to that on Sunday.
