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.
