An Eye For Poetry


Noah, the DU Bookstore's Stockroom Manager, is seen in the photograph above trying to keep his eyes from closing as my camera's flash goes off.  In addition to working at the University of Denver Bookstore, Noah is also a poet. He used to write poetry and do readings at coffee houses such as Stella's, located on South Pearl Street here in Denver.  However, Noah tells me he doesn't have time for this anymore now that he has two children to help care for. Ever the helpful sort, I have a great suggestion.  In Wales it is a tradition to compose poems on the weekend and recite them to your co-workers the following Monday.  This would work really well in the Bookstore's stockroom, and I'm sure Noah would have a very receptive audience.  Extra points if the poems are in Welsh!
