Today, kids, we are heading down to Texas, by way of New Orleans, where we will take in a bit of the carnival. This is cool, because I've always wanted to go to Mardi Gras. We are meeting today with Laurie Kolp, of Conversations With Laurie, Conversations With a Cardinal, and Bird's Eye Gemini. Laurie is a well-known writer on the poetry circuit, and I am so anticipating this visit with her. I have my feather costume on, and a painted face, which is a vast improvement on my usual one, hee hee. Meet you there, where the parade meets the street festival, and music is everywhere.
Poets United: So, Laurie, tell us about your part of the world. What does your life look like on any given day?
Laurie: First let me thank you, Sherry, for thinking of me. I live in southeast Texas, between Houston and Lake Charles, Louisiana. I’m sitting at my computer in the corner of our living room with a heating pad on my shoulder and a Harry Potter movie playing in the background, on this rainy spring break day.
