Niagara History and Poetry Episode 1 - Introduction
from Niagara History and Poetry · host Niagara Falls Poetry Project
In this episode I introduce myself, give a brief history of the Niagara Falls Poetry Project, and what to expect from this podcast. I illustrate my motto - "if something happened but I can't find a poem about it, it didn't happen" with a limerick I wrote to illustrate a really neat picture of a cow at the brink of Niagara Falls. So, because I wrote a limerick, it did, in fact, happen. I also touch on some of the themes I'll be exploring in upcoming episodes of the podcast, and recite from the fragment of a poem that sparked the idea of the Niagara Falls Poetry Project.Poems recited: Andrew Porteus. Bossy Sims: A Limerick Peter A. Porter. A Legend of Goat Island
