Listen to brain food to get your creative juices flowing.
This week I am talking to the inaugural Hartford Poet Laureate, Frederick-Douglass Knowles II, whom I've known personally for many years because I also claim Norwich as my "hometown", and as colleagues, we have seen each other "grow up" in the literary scene. Listen to Frederick-Douglass talk about how it was growing up in Norwich and his evolution from spoken word, to the academics, and onto the literary page. He is prolific with literary and social justice projects literally all over the world while performing his Hartford Poet Laureate duties. So, listen in. You'll be inspired!
