Is there a connection between the New England Trail and Poetry? Can words enhance hiking and hiking amplify words? Listen to my October 27, 2016 conversation with River Valley Rhythms host Stephan Allison on WESU in Middletown, Connecticut at 88.1 FM and find out. We talk about this footpath in the woods and my recent appointment as New England Trail poet-in-residence, the first such designation in the country.

The New England National Scenic Trail, like the Appalachian Trail, is a unit of the National Park Service. Maintained largely by volunteers of the Connecticut Forest & Park Association and the Appalachian Mountain Club, it's 215 mile journey from Long Island Sound in Guilford Connecticut to the Massachusetts/New Hampshire border. Join us in discussing upcoming public events and how poetry can enrich the experience of hikers and how the trail can provide inspiration for poets and other artists. Let's connect the legs to the heart and mind with poetry!
