In finishing Women’s History Month, these accomplished poets have the essence of life and experience. With all the women in this month, I have learned much about them and myself. I am truly grateful to all the women on the podcast. Episode available 3/28/2022. It is with honor I present
Martina Reisz Newberry does a reading of the poem “Subsequence” from Blues for French Roast with Chicory. We discuss the suffix “ess”, ageism and creativity and how it affects the perceptions of being. Cultural perceptions of age and value are discussed and explored.

Los Angeles Poet Laureate Lynne Thompson, we discuss her poem “Invention”, her experiences of being an adoptee. We laugh about rejection letters and go into detail about her journey to becoming the Poet Laureate for the City of Los Angeles. It was great to have previously interviewed her for Poetic Resurrection website, and several books later she is the Poet Laureate of Los Angeles.

Luivette Resto reads her poem Living on Islands Not Found on Maps. How growing up bi-culturally and using Spanglish or as I like to call it “fusion of words”. We had a great time conversing about Puerto Rican culture. I love guests I can laugh with and laugh we did.
