Coffee At KYUK, November 20, 2020: Listen To Poems From Alaskan Author Don Rearden

Alaskan author and poet Don Rearden.
Joe Yelverton

Listen to Don Rearden, who grew up in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, read from his first book of poems, "Without a Paddle". The poems reflect his life as lived and remembered. It’s possible to recognize friends and neighbors in the words, and to step a bit into the reality of rural Alaska life.

Johanna Eurich's vivid broadcast productions have been widely heard on National Public Radio since 1978. She spent her childhood speaking Thai, then learned English as a teenager and was educated at a dance academy, boarding schools and with leading intellectuals at her grandparents' dinner table in Philadelphia.
