7/27/26. Former Racine Poet Laureate Debra Hall

We speak with former Racine Poet Laureate Debra Hall about how she fell in love with poetry, the daily routine she follows that helps her write every single day, and her newly published chapbook "What the Current Cannot Swallow." This collection of poems stems from a difficult period in her life when her husband was seriously stricken while the two of them were flying to Italy for vacation. The poems in this collection reflect on various aspects of their ordeal that eventually culminated in her husband's death. We also share information about the search for new poets laureate for Kenosha and Racine ... and about a fundraiser for the program that will be happening at The White Lilac in Kenosha on September 20th.
