Poetry of the Carousel with Burt Rashbaum | Ep. 60

We talk with Burt Rashbaum, who is both a poet and an operator at the Carousel of Happiness. You may remember him from this podcast’s debut episode, where we got to hear him introduce the carousel or from episode 18, titled “Lessons on Art & Grieving,” which you can find here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2423381/episodes/17025214Today, Burt and I are talking about poetry – both his and the carousel’s. Like happiness, joy, whimsy, and other wonderful things, poetry is a difficult thing to pin down. But we try our best anyway.If you’d like to read Burt’s books, the “Poetry of the Carousel” and “From Where We Came,” you can find them prominently featured at The Carousel of Happiness gift shop, or on our website:  https://carouselofhappiness.org/product-category/books/You can listen to Burt’s band, The CBDs, at their upcoming shows, or by visiting their website: http://www.thecbds.com/Learn More about our upcoming Paint & Spin here: https://carouselofhappiness.org/carousel-paint-and-spin/Do you have a story to share?
