The first time I interviewed Robert Crais on WYSO he was on his first national book tour. That was about 16 years ago, Crais had quit a successful career as a writer for TV shows like Hill Street Blues and LA Law to try out his hand writing novels.
For local poet Judy Johnson, poetry is about using language differently, more beautifully than in everyday speech. Johnson speaks with WYSO's Conrad Balliet about the use of language in poetry and imagination and shares a few poems.
