Poetry! What is it good for? / Crossing Borders

This episode introduces a new series of podcasts with our co-producer Chris Brandt. Chris is a professor, peace activist, carpenter and poet, and he helped produce BCR #34 when we invited three poets to share their work related to the World Poetry Movement.  We had such a great time, it was decided that we needed to talk poetry regularly on the show. So, this BCR episode is the first in a series focusing on thinking about, listening to, and having conversations with poets. Chris invited two poets to talk about and read their poems dealing with racial and ethnic borders and the possibility of crossing them -- Martha Collins and Sarah Gambito.We recorded at Gebhard's Beer Culture Bar on W. 72nd Street.
