Our April 7th broadcast today on NPR WGCU was a great success and in my opinion one of the best group poetry programs I’ve ever heard or participated in.
The poets and poetry were superb and the moderating by John Davis was masterful. I recommend you share the link below with your family and friends.
Poetically yours,

M. E. Roche’s new book, The South Spit Murders, will be release November 15, 2021.
It’s during the early morning hours on a rainy night when the sound of gunshots brings sheriff’s detectives to a lone campsite on the south spit—that remote strip of land separating the Pacific Ocean from William’s Bay. There they discover three, seemingly unrelated murder victims and a case taking them from the seedier areas of their town to those of the most affluent, where hostility, greed, and jealousy seems to drive each of their suspects to act.
