My friend, poet and scholar Dean Rader, reached out to me and asked if I would talk about a poem that changed my life, so that he could add it to a growing list of others that he hosts on his website at deanrader.com. Check out some of the amazing poetcasts there, and then, listen as I read Wendy Rose's "Excavation at Santa Barbara Mission" and talk about the ways the poem has changed the way I see and write.
