Whatever season in life you find yourself in, poetry is ageless. Just ask Mary Lou Spartz and Richard Stokes. Mary Lou, by the way, just turned 90. Stokes will be 82 in July. They are steadfast members of the Burn Thompson Writers group, made up of mostly older Juneau poets.
On this Friday’s Juneau Afternoon, Spartz and Stokes will share some of their favorite poems, written by others and a few of their own.
Also on our program:
- Talk about an incredible career journey. Rose Lawhorne started out at Bartlett Regional Hospital as a registration clerk. Now she’s running the show. A conversation with Bartlett’s new CEO.
