Poetry alive and well in Maine
By Linda Buckmaster | Apr 22, 2021
“I think poetry is alive and well in Maine!” said Maine Poet Laureate Stuart Kestenbaum. “There are so many new books being published, great readings, and exciting initiatives with young people writing poetry.” Stuart’s poem “Breaking Free” is our feature this week.
He continued: “In challenging times of the pandemic, social upheaval and environmental crises, people turn to poetry to understand deeper meanings, or to give voice to their feelings. We re constantly listening to news about these issues, but poetry is helping us listen in a different, deeper way.”
