Quick glimpse of the writers in this issue
Kirk Judd has traveled all over the Appalachian area, delivering his powerful poems in spoken-word style. In this story, he explores his belief that poems are not completely poems until they are spoken out loud, from the heart, and heard by an audience of one or thousands. His thought-provoking comments will cause you to look at poetry in a new light.
Kirk and his wife Janet currently live in Morgantown. He is a co-founder of West Virginia Writers Inc. and Allegheny Echoes.
