Poets on the Plains Season Three

Welcome to Poets on the Plains, I’m Brad Aaron Modlin. I’m an Associate Professor and the Reynolds Endowed Chair of Creative Writing at University of Nebraska in Kearney, teaching undergrads and in our online master’s degree in creative writing.

Hello friends, I’m Huascar Medina, Former Poet Laureate of Kansas, here for Poets on the Plains. I’m pleased to meet you and look forward to sharing the wonderful poetry from Kansas poets. Today, I will be sharing one of my poems, “on the Range,” but first, allow me a moment to introduce myself.

With many thanks to the host poets of Season Two of Poets on the Plains, we welcome five new host poets to Season Three. You may remember that toward the end of each season, each host poet selects a successor, sometimes from the list of featured poets in the season and sometimes a surprise newcomer. Today’s opening features High Plains Morning host Jenny Inzerillo in an interview with Kansas Poet Laureate and Poets on the Plains founder Traci Brimhall.
