Kansas Poet Laureate Traci Brimhall is featured this week on KPR Presents, discussing poetry and her latest book Love Prodigal. Brimhall also invites listeners to participate in a creative challenge: write and submit a “Dear Kansas” letter-poem in celebration of Kansas Day.
Brimhall’s instructions for the challenge are simple. Take a walk and notice five things around you using your senses (taste is optional!). Then, use those observations to write a letter to “Dear Kansas.” The submitted letter-poems will be shared with Kansas Public Radio, and some may even be read on air.
You can tune into KPR Presents at the following times:
KPR1: Sundays at 6 p.m., Saturdays at 6 a.m.
KPR2: Sundays at 1 p.m., Thursdays at 7 p.m.
Submit your “Dear Kansas” letter-poem for a chance to have it read on air!
