I think we should listen to a poet recite a poem every day.

This week my guest is Anna Harris-Parker, a poet and assistant professor of English at Augusta University Pamplin College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences In February Anna wrote a poem a day as a fundraiser for Tupelo Press. Anna talks about her month of poetry, the publication of her Chapbook and teaching. It was lovely.

Arts Weekly with Joye in Aiken, Janice Jennings by Brenda Durant

So, I arrived at Perry Studios this morning to record Arts Weekly and no guest came. I got an email that he was 'sick as a dog', bummer. So, I asked my producer Sly is I could talk with him in the 2nd segment. We had such a good time there was just 2 minutes left in the 3rd segment. Oops.

Augusta has lots of fun events this week-end; loads of Community Theatre the Wet Paint Party & Art Sale 2019 and more. Check out our website for the full calendar.

Today is a special day.

Today I thought I was interviewing Roy Lewis about his upcoming play The Augusta Players Inc. Junior Players show of Four Little Girls: Birmingham 1963.

Roy brought an actor.

Roy Brought Rege Lewis. Wow.

Rege has come to Augusta, his home town, to work with the Players on this important piece.

Rege is so caring, so 'sharing' so cool. We had a wonderful talk about his path to a very successful acting career, giving back and...more.
