<title>Nature poetry, black poetry</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/20334/20120820/nature-poetry-black-poetry</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Aug 20, 2012) Poetry is one of the ways we&apos;ve learned to think and talk about the natural world.  In the United States writers like Emerson, Dickinson and Frost have shaped the language we bring to nature and wildness.  But largely missing from that tradition and conversation is the poetry of African-American writers. For the better part of a century, black writing has been seen reflexively as an urban expression, rooted in the life of cities. Now some African-American writers and editors are trying to change that, arguing that new words and points of view can broaden the language of nature.

<title>Poet finds meaning in &quot;Makebelieve&quot;</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/19980/20120614/poet-finds-meaning-in-quot-makebelieve-quot</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 14, 2012) A writer from Lake Placid has published a new collection of poetry that draws its characters and themes from a legendary theme park in Upper Jay. Caitlin Scholl’s second book, “Makebelieve,” was released earlier this year by UNO Press as part of the company’s Contemporary Poetry Series.The book was released not long after Tropical Storm Irene destroyed the last standing structures of Arto Monaco’s Land of Makebelieve. The pages of Scholl’s poetry collection include images of the theme park, and one of the narrative’s characters, Art Mastro, is based in large part on Monaco himself.Chris Morris caught up with Scholl to tour what remains of Monaco’s fantasy world and talk about  how it inspires her as a poet and artist.

<title>An Evening of Performance Poetry</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/19720/20120425/an-evening-of-performance-poetry</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Apr 25, 2012) April is National Poetry Month.Last week the Adirondack Center for Writing brought three poets from New York City and Chicago to the Saranac Lake Campus of North Country Community College for an evening of performance poetry. Performance poetry isn’t a poetry slam, necessarily, and it’s not a poetry reading, either. There’s nothing like the energy in a room when a performance poet is up there—in famous performance poetry venues like the Nuyorican Poet’s Cafe and the Bowery Poetry club, it’s common practice for the audience to react during the performance, calling out, or clapping. But even here in the North Country, where the audience tends to stay in their seats, the atmosphere was electric. These three poets were on.

<title>Poetry that celebrates life in the North Country</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/18430/20110916/poetry-that-celebrates-life-in-the-north-country</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Sep 16, 2011) Three Saratoga area women won their third award this year from the Adirondack Center for Writing for a book of poetry.  They’ll  share their thoughts and words tonight (7:00pm) at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts.  Elaine Handley, Marilyn McCabe and Mary Sanders Shartle began working together at the Saratoga Springs Public Library coffee shop in the late 90&apos;s, and realized that even in sharing common themes their three voices were very different yet compatible.  In a phone conversation with Todd Moe, they each shared a poem from their latest chapbook, Tear of the Clouds.   Elaine Handley says the idea of writing poems about life in the North Country was a logical next step for all three poets.
