    Hi, I’m Benjamin Myers. I’m a poet from Chandler, Oklahoma, and I’m here to share with you a poem by one of my favorite Oklahoma poets, Jim Barnes. Jim Barnes is the author of twelve volumes of poetry, including Sundown Explains Nothing, Visiting Picasso, and Paris. He has held fellowships from The Rockefeller Foundation, The Camargo Foundation, and The Fulbright Foundation.
  • For High Plains Public Radio Readers Book Club, I'm Shane Timpson in Colby, Kansas. Today I'm talking about the book Can't Catch Me, I'm the Gingerbread Man by Jamie Gilson, published in 1981.
