Host Joan Maro welcomed local poet Danusha Laméris to the KUSP air studio for an hour to read and discuss Danusha's poetry, especially her recently-published first book - The Moons of August (Autumn House Press, 2014). An introduction by Naomi Shihab Nye:
"Danusha Laméris writes with definitive, savoring power – in perfectly well-weighted lines and scenes. Her poems strike deeply, balancing profound loss and new finding, employing a clear eye, a way of being richly alive with appetite and gusto, and a gift of distilling experience to find its shining core. Don't miss this stunning first book."
Danusha Laméris is no stranger on the Poetry Show. Her previous visit as a guest poet was June 25, 2012. In addition to writing poetry, she enjoys teaching. Visit her website to learn more, and to stay current.
