J. N. Fishhawk: The Hunt for Live Language: Finding Poetry Everywhere
July 12, 2020, 2:30 pm - 4:00 pm
Program via Zoom. See Zoom link at end of this article.
J. N. Fishhawk, Poetry Editor for Bacopa Literary Review, will speak on Sunday, July 12, at 2:30 p.m.
Unless we are actually sitting down to read, listen to, or compose a poem, most of us don’t think about poetry much, if at all. For National Poetry Month, Fishhawk will speak from his own experience of a life in poetry—reading it, writing it, listening to it, organizing events around it, watching it performed live on stage, and seeking it in all aspects of life. He will argue that poetry is all around us, all the time, and is easily accessible to all.
Fishhawk is a Florida born poet and writer who has called the swamplands of North Central Florida home for over 26 years. His work has appeared in a variety of print and online journals, such as Steel Toe Review.
He is also the author of two poetry chapbooks, and his first-in-a-series children’s book Billy and Tugboat Sallyforth, with coauthor Johnny Rocket Ibanez, débuted at the 2020 Sunshine State Book Festival.
