Thursday evening at the John C. Campbell Folk School, Michael Beadle of Canton, NC read and performed his poetry to a large group of quilters, writers, crafters and listeners who all enjoyed the hour program. Mary Mike Keller who schedules the readings at John Campbell now, gave Michael the entire time to share with us his craft.
He began by involving the audience in performing Sandburg's poem, Fog, and had all of us laughing at ourselves. I can imagine how he must create a learning environment for school children. He makes poetry images memorable with action for each line.
If you have not seen Michael in person, you have missed a treat.
Michael says he loves coming to the Folk School and it is obvious the folk school students loved Michael on Thursday evening.
Oh I have missed coming by here - ill family members in Texas, and now I'm working on the galley proof for Tender Graces -(Can't believe it will be released in mere weeks...!)
