April is National Poetry Month,  and we're celebrating with 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.
