Shuly Xóchitl Cawood on her book release day.

The poet Shuly Cawood returned to the program. Over the last 8 years she
has made 11 appearances and it is always a treat to have her come by.

We rolled out National Poetry month as she read some of her current
favorite poems as well as some of her own work. And I brought along some
poems that I like. We always have great fun together on the radio. I
have heard from a number of listeners who really enjoyed this particular
poetic program.

The Book Nook on WYSO is presented by the Greene County Public Library with additional support from Washington-Centerville Public LibraryClark County Public LibraryDayton Metro LibraryWright Memorial Public Library, and Tipp City Public.
