Virtual Poetry Reading

Join us for a virtual watch party of a poetry reading and interview with Featured Poet Meghan Sterling! TONIGHT! 5pm EST! The video and watch party can be accessed here: https://youtu.be/zwf4tydClEs

The 47 minute interview with Founding Editor Emily JT Matthews covers the power of poetry to lift our hearts in hard times and to bring people together emotionally. Meghan Sterling reads poetry inspired by the COVID19 pandemic, global events and her life. The interview discusses the online Pandemic Poetry project launched by the Frost Meadow Review to encourage Mainers (and people around the globe) to turn toward poetry writing as a way to maintain and sustain themselves through this hard time. Poems submitted to the Pandemic Poetry project are being reviewed and published daily (www.frostmeadowreview.com/pandemic-poetry).

The interview is to premiere at 5pm Saturday April 4 via a YouTube watch party (available here https://youtu.be/zwf4tydClEs). It will then be available on YouTube and as an audio-only podcast on our website and on most major podcast platforms including Spotify.
