Subject: RE: Fisher Poets in New York times today 3 March 09
The Fisher Poets Gathering BBC radio 4 - 2014

This year, for the first time, a poet came from beyond the United States.
Katrina Porteous lives in the Northumbrian fishing village of Beadnell. For years she has worked with, recorded and written about fishing people there.
She hears astonishing work:
from Dave Densmore, on his boat Cold Stream;
from Moe Bowstern, an extraordinarily prolific writer about the lives of fisher women;
from Richard King who fishes in Alaska, and farms in Hawaii.
She meets, too, Lloyd Montgomery, an Aleut fisher poet.
