We celebrate National Poetry Month on this week's KPR Presents. Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg talks about her four years as Kansas Poet Laureate as she prepares to step down from that post. We also hear from Nikky Finney, winner of the National Book Award and author of four books of poetry. Finney spoke at the University of Kansas as part of the Hall Center of the Humanities Lecture series, exploring the role of the poet in chronicling and reacting to the ways that humans are changing the world around us.
