SUMMARY:"Poetry in the Modern World" via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Joe Santi – Talk show poet / Poet for hire\nHugh Hewitt show / Himself\nFor thousands of years\, poets were revered as sages and soothsayers\, the conscience of humanity.  Today\, poetry seems to be relegated to the classroom\, coming out into the sunlight for five minutes every four years at the next President’s inauguration.   This morning “Tarzana Joe” will talk about the role of poetry in civilization and see if we can conspire to get contemporary poets the fame they richly deserve. \nAbout the Speaker\nJoe Santi is one of the few poets in America (maybe the only one) whose work is broadcast weekly on nationally syndicated talk-radio. As Tarzana Joe\, he is heard on the Hugh Hewitt Show which airs on hundreds of stations across America.\nAs a talk-radio poet\, Tarzana Joe’s weekly poems are commentaries on everything from the recent elections to popular culture.  On the weekend before Valentine’s Day several years ago\, he offered to write love poems for the gift-challenged. Overwhelmed with requests\, he began a new career as a poet-for-hire.\nJoe is originally from New York City.  He attended Wake Forest University in North Carolina.
