It's National Poetry Month and we're doing things a little differently this month. Each week in April, we're inviting one poet from the Lesley community to share some of their verses and talk about their work. Zimbabwean-American poet U-Meleni Mhlaba-Adebo shares two poems, her Cyrano de Bergerac beginnings, and more.
U-Meleni is a graduate of our master's in education program.
Check out our episode page where you'll find more on U-Meleni, a transcript of this episode, links to our programs and more poetry-themed episodes.
