Join Poetry Santa Cruz and The Poetry Show next Saturday, September 24, as we welcome Robert Sward as our new Poet Laureate. It will be a local-star-studded event, as can be seen from the lineup at right.
Most of these fine poets have been guests on The Poetry Show. Also, we posted a podcast of Robert Sward reading with Dana Gioia at a Poetry Santa Cruz event in July.
David Swanger and Robert Sward were both guests on a 2015 show, but today’s podcast is an earlier solo appearance by David, back 2013. Among other subjects of his conversation with host Dennis Morton, David discusses what it’s like to be Poet Laureate of Santa Cruz County. He was himself nearing the end of his term as County Poet Laureate at that time, and had some interesting first-hand experiences to relate.
