Praise of Poetry with John Perrault

In celebration of Poetry Month, former Portsmouth Poet Laureate John Perrault presents a smattering of songs and poems to prop up his poem “Who Needs It?” Sings them with his guitar. Says them from his heart. Ballads to blues to lyrics with news that only songs can tell. Only poems know: Blake to Burns to Dylan in turn. Lightfoot, Dickinson, Whitman, whew… Mary Oliver. Joan Baez. Robert Frost… You come too.
