The Poetry Box LIVE -- Sept 2024

Welcome to THE POETRY BOX LIVE! Hosted by Shawn Aveningo Sanders Featured Poets for our September Edition: • Sheila Sondik author of Lighting Up the Duff • Kim Peter Kovac—author of A Bit Left of Straight Ahead • Sher Schwartz— author of The Beautiful One’s Ark ABOUT THE POETS: Sheila Sondik is the author of LIGHTING UP THE DUFF, a collection of “golden shovel” poems inspired by many of her favorite poets. Sheila is a poet and printmaker who explores moments in time and space that the casual observer might overlook. Both artforms are opportunities for her to work with the unexpected. Prints are always mirror images of the drawings on the printing plates and, in writing Golden Shovels, the poet knows the last word of each line before the rest of it is written. Sheila has always enjoyed word puzzles and has been a member of the National Puzzlers’ League since 2000. She lived in Berkeley, CA, for over 30 years after graduating from Harvard. In 2008, she moved to Bellingham, Washington in search of new landscapes and was happy to find a welcoming community of prolific poets. Her first chapbook, Fishing a Familiar Pond: Found Poems from The Yearling, was published in 2013. Her Western and Japanese style poems appear in many journals and anthologies. Information & Ordering for Sheila’s book: https://thepoetrybox.com/bookstore/duff ---------------------------------------------------------- Kim Peter Kovac, reading from his book A Bit Left of Straight Ahead whose eclectic poems are a “journey within a journey” born from his freeform imagination. Kim began writing poetry in 2012, toward the end of his career in national and international theater for young audiences, participating in his first Poetry Barn asynchronous online workshop on a plane ride home from Okinawa, just barely beating a typhoon. He has commissioned and produced more than a hundred plays and musicals as Artistic Director of Kennedy Center Theater for Young Audiences, including from Pulitzer Prize and Tony award winning playwrights and composers. Along with Dierdre Kelly Lavrakas, Kim co-founded and co-produced the Kennedy Center’s New Voices/ New Visions—an award-winning program that helped develop 111 new plays, musicals and operas both nationally and internationally. Kim has over 150 poems published in journals worldwide.

Sher is a published essayist, poet, old time fiddle musician, singer, and retired professor. She was born in Georgia, raised in Virginia, and spent many summers in rural West Virginia with her mother's family. Her vocal training, beginning at twelve, and later rhythm guitar playing in an old-time string band laid the foundation for the musicality in Schwartz's poetry. Sher has written country and mountain folk songs and composed classical hymns. She lived for many years in a cabin on the beach in Alaska while teaching in the humanities department at the University of Alaska in Ketchikan. In 2011, she retired from academic life and moved to Eastern Oregon, where she helped restore two hundred acres of old farmland to native grasslands and pollinator plants. Sher also performs with the old-timey Sugar Hill Band throughout the Columbia River Gorge, but she seems to write more poetry these days than songs.
