April is National Poetry Month, and we're continuing the celebration with a bonus episode of Rhody Radio, featuring Zach Berger, adult services librarian at Cranston Public Library. For the past year, Zach has been recording a new poem every week for On the Line - a call-in poetry service that Zach maintains. Each week, Zach records a new poetry reading that patrons can hear simply by dialing 401-900-1090, no Internet or computer required. In this episode, Rhody Radio team member Dave Bartos sits down with Zach to discuss his lifelong love of poetry and how he came to launching this project.
Call 401-900-1090 to hear a new poem each week, and to learn more about On the Line visit https://cranstonlibrary.org/ontheline.
