(5/1) A WORD TO THE HEART

Poetry as an act of resilience. Poetry as an act of activism. If that isn't part of how you kick off a Season 5 slate, are you even doing it right? We had the incredible honor of having Richmond, Virginia's inaugural poet laureate, Douglas Powell, in the studio! Douglas, AKA Roscoe Burnems, who is an educator, a parent, an author, and an entertainer, unsurprisingly brought a ton to the table to discuss!
