“WORDS FALL IN” PODCAST – 2019 POETRY WINNERS

By Melonie Cannon

IT’S THE 12TH EPISODE of the Segullah Podcast “Words Fall In,” and I am so happy to have interviewed the four winners of our 2019 Poetry Contest. Please see the Journal tab to read their poems or follow this link.

Sarah Dunster, Melody Newey Johnson, Kathryn Knight Sonntag, and Dayna Patterson all discuss their poems and the craft of writing.

I split the podcast into two sections. Part One are interviews with Sarah and Melody. In Part Two, I speak with Kathryn and Dayna. Just click on them to listen! I edited out a lot of laughing and getting to know one another so you could hear them waxing eloquent about their love of words. Thanks to our winners and congratulations! IT WAS A JOY TO INTERVIEW YOU ALL!
