Ep#77 Poet Laureate, Nancy Mitchell Interview

In this episode we are looking at Women's History through the lens of poetry. Poetry has the potential to capture our existence, what it means to experience life with all our senses, our whole being. Every day pedestrian language cannot do always do this. Whether traditional poetry, spoken word or song, poetry can transport us.
