Is our community breaking out into poetry? Well, we certainly hope it does! Don't you?

Our community might be breaking out all over in poetry, and wouldn't that be a lovely thing? We were talking the other day about the poetry contest the Eckerd College OLLI program is putting on. Now we see in The Gabber where they're looking for the second poet laureate of Gulfport.  The first poet laureate of Gulfport is the ever-fascinating Peter Hargitai who is always a delight to hear. Peter is a retired college professor and a fixture at the Ink Tank Talks at The Blueberry Patch Retreat Center. The Hungarian-born writer came to the United States as a child when his family fled the revolution in their country. To get in a poetic frame of mind, we thought we'd share a video of Peter reading Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky. Peter's wife, Dianne, did the illustrations and made the video.
