My program today is the fourth in a series of programs that present poems written by poets living in various geographic regions of the country. My three earlier programs in this series included poets from the Southwest, the South more broadly, and the Midwest. Today I read poems by poets from that part of the West known as the Mountain Region, which includes the states of Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. They are May Swenson, John Perry Barlow, Anne Waldman, Blair Cooper, Vern Rutsala, and Rosanne Sterne.
