National Poetry Month

On episode 7, we talked about the magic of arts and humanities with Cortheal Clark, the chair of Dillard University’s School of Humanities. Dillard has to its credit, a former Louisiana poet laureate in Brenda Marie Osbey and a Pulitzer Prize winner in poetry in Jericho Brown who was a student of Dr. Mona Lisa Saloy. She is a Conrad N. Hilton Endowed professor of English, an author and a folklorist. On this episode, Dr. Saloy talks about poetry's benefits and why it touches and inspires us in so many ways.
