Scott Cairns, Susanna Childress Reading Their Poems

We had a great time last week at The Festival of Faith and Writing.
Thanks to everyone who came by our booth and said “hello”; thanks to everyone who came out for the panel on book reviewing; and thanks to the folks at Calvin who put on another delightful festival!

Continuing our National Poetry Month theme of poets reading their poems, here are two poets who spoke at the Festival last week — Susanna Childress and Scott Cairns.

Susanna Childress has recordings of several of her poems on her website,

including “The Necessary Dark” from her newest collection:

Entering the House of Awe.
Paperback: New Issues, 2011.
