Poems from Here
Poems from Here was designed to create a momentary community of speaker and listeners, where vibrant language slows time down and helps us to pay attention to our world. The series aired on Maine Public Radio and Maine Public Classical.
Poems from Here was presented in collaboration with the Maine Writers and Publishers Alliance and the Maine Arts Commission. Special thanks to Robert M. Chute and family along with Phil Steele and Francesca Galluccio-Steele for having made Poems from Here possible. Additional support was provided by The New Writing Series at the University of Maine.
