Since 1996 April has been designated as National Poetry Month by the Academy of American Poets.

Beyond rhythmic verses, metaphors, and sometimes flowery language, poetry can be beneficial in at least two ways. One is that poetry can help us improve our critical thinking skills as we try to understand what the author is telling us. Poetry encourages us to think of things from different points of view similar to many brain gym exercises that are designed to improve brain functions. Poetry is a fun way to keep our brains sharp.

A second way that poetry can be beneficial for you is its healing powers. Whether you are writing poetry yourself, reading or listening to someone else’s work, poetry can help us channel our emotions to get through stressful, traumatic or depressive situations.

You can celebrate National Poetry Month by writing a poem or two of your own, or
You can attend a poetry event at your local library or neighborhood café. You may even try organizing one for friends, or
Consider dusting off the books on your bookshelf and reading a few poems.

You may remember our former guests, Pat Stanford and Bobby Blackmon who are authors of books that contain poetry. In honor of National Poetry Month, we will share some of their works with you. For more information about Pat Standford go to: www.patstandford.com. For information about Bobby Blackmon go to wcblackmon.com.

If I were to ask you to talk about one woman who’s impacted your life who would you pick? If someone were to recognize you publicly for the impact you’ve had on his or her life, how would you feel?
Our guest today, Mr. W.C. Blackmon possesses a world record in the sport of power lifting. He is also an Author, inspirational Speaker, Music Artist, and poet. He is the author of two books of inspiration; “mind Vision” and “Seeds to Unfolding: Release, Freedom, Power,” as well as a children’s book titled “Just Keep Going Rabbit.” He also has three highly streamed songs on the music charts; “Shanda,” “It’s a Secret No More,” and “Eighteen Years Old”.

He holds the honor of having spoken or performed at small local gatherings of both kids and adults, as well as large scaled events with audiences boasting more than a hundred different nationalities.
W.C. aka Bobby also takes great delight in being both a mentor as well as a protégé. With this in mind he says that it gives him great pleasure to be here to speak on an individual from whom he has had many opportunities to learn and thus grow into a better person.
Bobby has the unique distinction of being our first male guest. We’re so excited to speak with him, because he’s joining us to pay homage to a special lady who’s impacted his life.
How great is that?
