We would like to graciously acknowledge our fans and listeners. Without you, there could not be a Joe Milford Poetry Show or a website. The response to our mailers and other promotion has been overwhelming to say the least. The number of listeners and downloads to our shows has tripled in the last three weeks, and we could not be more grateful to those of you devoting your time to our cause.
Don't forget to go to Blog Talk and create a profile. Here you will be able to add us as a friend and comment on and rate our shows. Our goal here is to build a library for poets, writers, students, professors, and anyone interested in the aesthetic of poetry or who enjoys poetry. We are going to do this as long as possible, and it will last longer the more listeners we have. So, tell your friends about your new favorite radio show that is available for their listening pleasure at their convenience. We welcome and invite our new listeners to critique and rave by leaving comments on our BlogTalk Profile and adding their names to our mailing list.
We are working hard to bring you the best quality readings by established and upcoming poets that will astound and intrigue for generations to come. Please continue to support your dedicated host with your time and your praise! Tune into our next show this Saturday, and every Saturday, at 500pm Eastern Standard Time, and catch our friend Scott Owens doing a special reading.
Graduate of the UNCG MFA program, co-editor of Wild Goose Poetry Review, and author of “Musings,” a weekly poetry column in Outlook, Scott Owens is the 2008 Visiting Writer at Catawba Valley Community College. His first full-length collection of poetry, The Fractured World was published in August by Main Street Rag. He is also author of two chapbooks The Persistence of Faith (1993) from Sandstone Press and Deceptively Like a Sound (Dead Mule, 2008). A third chapbook, The Book of Days, will be published by Dead Mule in January. He has been nominated for two Pushcart Prizes and a Best of the Net Prize this year. His poem, “On the Days I Am Not My Father,” was recently featured on Garrison Keillor’s NPR show The Writer’s Almanac. Born in Greenwood, SC, he now lives in Hickory, NC, where he teaches and coordinates the Poetry Hickory reading series.
