Poetry and Politics: Marie Harris

This weekend, something's going to happen that's never happened before.

Poets Laureate from around the country are going to get together in one place to discuss the role of poetry in our society.

They're calling it Poetry and Politics, and it's going to happen right here in the Granite State.

New Hamphsire Poet Laureate -- Marie Harris -- organized the event. N-H-P-R's Lisa Peakes spoke with Harris and asked her why she put this project together.
