Interview: Desi Di Nardo [National Post]

Guernica author Desi Di Nardo is interviewed this week as part of the National Post's celebration of National Poetry Month.

"More and more poetry is reaching people who might otherwise not be readily exposed to it. Not only is the poetical word alive and well but there are more opportunities and venues for performances and readings, a larger number of poets mentoring students in schools, greater community involvement, and much more accessibility for those interested in getting published on the Net."
