“In the Sunroom with Raymond Carver”

In today’s episode, we meet poet Dannye Romine Powell, author of “In the Sunroom with Raymond Carver,” and other books and publications.

Susan Ludvigson, author of “Wave as If You Can See Me” says “Dannye Powell’s poems are insightful and smart, and her gift for the perfect metaphor continues to feel effortless and natural. She finds humor in some of the bumps life amply provides, so that even poems dealing with difficult moments and tough issues leave the reader feeling uplifted.”

Patricia Hooper, author of “Wild Persistence” calls the book “a treasure” and Joseph Bathanti, North Carolina Poet Laureate and author of “The 13th Sunday after Pentecost” says that “In the Sunroom with Raymond Carver,” underscores Dannye Romine Powell’s “abiding reputation as a poet of breathtaking candor and precision, the consummate craftswoman, who painstakingly parses syllables into words as if sifting for gold.”

Dannye starts the show with a reading of the title piece in the book, “In the Sunroom with Raymond Carver.”
