According to Merriam-Webster's Dictionary, the shortest definition of poetry is "Writing chosen and arranged to create a certain emotional response through meaning, sound, and rhythm." Renowned ports Tim Siebels and Steven Leyva stopped by the WHRO studios to share life, love, protest, and comfort through their poetry and, why they say the arts are more important than ever during today's times. Tim Siebels is no stranger to Another View, as he has shared his poetry on the show before and also served as a pundit on the AV Roundtable. His latest book is Voodoo Libretto, described as poems that are sometimes humorous sometimes deadly serious, sometimes erotic, sometimes mystical, and occasionally all of these at once. Steven Leyva was born in New Orleans, raised in Houston, and now lives in Baltimore. he holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Baltimore where he serves as an Associate Professor in the Klein Family School of Communications Design. His latest book is the "Opposite of Cruelty." This and all Another View Programs can be heard on demand on the show's program page.
