Show Notes:Welcome to Art & Verse! On January 15th, we’re celebrating:

  • Martin Luther King Jr. (b. 1929), civil rights leader whose nonviolent activism and iconic speeches continue to inspire equality movements worldwide.
  • Molière (b. 1622), legendary French playwright known for timeless comedies like Tartuffe and The Misanthrope.
  • Edward Teller (b. 1908), physicist known as the “father of the hydrogen bomb,” whose work in nuclear energy remains a topic of debate.

Today’s featured poem is “He Asked the Wrong Question” by Ken Tamaro. Tamaro discovered poetry later in life and quickly made a name for himself, with his work appearing in literary journals, podcasts, and on his YouTube channel, Screaming Down the Poetic Highway.
