Nancy's Emergency Poetry Clinic
<p>Our producer – Alina Larson – told us about Nancy Kangas’s Emergency Poetry Clinic in Red Hook, Brooklyn. It seemed clear to me that America needs an emergency poetry clinic; I wanted to see what that was about. and so on a recent Tuesday morning I took a subway and a bus and a walk to 166 Van Dyke Street, Brooklyn. Earlier that morning I looked up “Nancy Kangas” and discovered a creative who defies categorization – Nancy K rides the wind of her whims.</p><p>I arrived at 10:17am -- Ms. K was ensconced on the other side of a store front window in a tiny, colorful -- Thru the Looking Glass -- office.</p><p>Nancy Kangas and her poet friend Karl Michael Iglesias will be on Poetry Good For podcast in the very near future.</p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
