One of my favorites, Moyers has a new show on Sunday mornings—at ten EST in my neck of the woods. I believe Sunday, February 19 was the show's debut, and I was lucky to see it. Why am I posting this on the poetry blog? Because Bill Moyers is a lover of, and advocate for, poetry.
This past Sunday Rita Dove (two-term Poet Laureate of the United States) was one of his guests, and what a delightful visit they had. The joy they were experiencing (as they read from the anthology of 20th Century American Poetry Dove recently edited) beamed its way to me. I was positively "floating" when the show ended.
He will have non-poets as guests, too. I'm sure all will be interesting; Moyers himself is interesting. He's someone I can count on to be fair, honest, intelligent and accurate in his presentations.
Next week the editor of Poetry Magazine will be a guest. I will abandon my usual political talk shows for that hour. No doubt I will feel far better after this PBS offering than after the Sunday morning network shows.
Thank you for coming back, Bill.
