Lola Haskins – “This is How We Go Forward”

This month’s Versed in Florida is with Lola Haskins. Her work has appeared in The Atlantic, The Christian Science Monitor, and The London Review of Books. She’s won numerous poetry prizes, was included in Billy Collins’ 180 project and was featured by Ted Kooser and Garrison Keillor. She has published 14 collections, recorded a CD of poems with cello, appeared in multimedia pieces at the Hippodrome State Theater in Gainesville and wrote numerous other poems blended with voice and music. She and WGCU’s Amy Tardif talk about those kinds of pieces and more today.
