Today we spotlight Poetry Minute, a collaboration between The University of Arkansas Press and NPR affiliate KUAF in celebration of National Poetry Month. Every day in April, KUAF will air a poem read by a poetry enthusiast with a Northwest Arkansas connection. The segments will air four times a day on KUAF and be archived on their website, kuaf.com.
The University of Arkansas Press has selected a wide range of participants, including local writers, professors from the University of Arkansas and Northwest Arkansas Community College, and staff from the Fayetteville Public Library; the Ozark Literacy Council; the Ozark Poets and Writers Collective; the OMNI Center for Peace, Justice, and Ecology; and the Walton Arts Center.
