Poetry is Economic Development

This weekend I had the opportunity to read one of my poems at the James Wright Poetry Festival in Martins Ferry, Ohio, which is the Pulizer Prize-winning poet's home and mine.

The Festival was quite successful. These are just the type of events that communities should be capitalizing upon for tourism and economic development. This is a good example to learn from.
