Poet Stephen Dunn on Writers on Writing
Pulitzer prize winning poet Stephen Dunn, author of Here and Now: Poems
, discusses poetry, writing, and reads from his newest book. He's been a favorite of mine since one fateful day around 1981 on a bus in San Francisco.

SF had some sort of transit poetry project going on, and I was forever hooked on Dunn's poems.

Our first donation!
A shout out to Ron Alvarez (former NYC cop) who clicked the donation button over on the right side of the screen and sent $$ our way, which I will, in turn, send to our podcast guru Rob Roy. It's because of Rob that the Writers on Writing podcast started up, and it's largely because of him that it functions. When it recently fell off the iTunes radar, Rob put in time to get it going again. So thanks Ron, and thanks again to Rob for all that he does.
