CONGRATULATIONS TO KNSJ SHOW HOST SUSAN TAYLOR FOR HER POEM SELECTED BY “HAIKUNIVERSE”

Wildfires sea to sea
They’ve taken the lifeboats

Susan talks about her poem written in haiku form: The haiku came to mind from news stories. East and West Coast fires. Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. I played with the juxtaposition of wildfires and water. Post-election metaphor intended with Wildfire Trump winning, and Republicans taking our freedoms, our protections, our “life boats.” The conciseness of haiku allows for a big idea using few words.

Poet and author Susan Taylor is the host of THE ELECTRIC PICNIC, a show focusing on local writers about poetry, prose, and spoken word. She has also interviewed poets and prose writers, as well as lyricists-musicians and newspaper reporters-writers from around the country. Susan brings into the conversations reflections on the place creative writing has in society, its healing powers, how it connects people and a way to learn about one another and see the world through the eye of others. The Electric Picnic is heard exclusively on KNSJ–Mondays 8-9am, Wednesdays 3-4pm, Saturdays 7-8pm.

About Davd P. Langenhorst
David has started his 8th decade of life and is a veteran of the U.S. Navy from the Vietnam era. He retired from a career in ship repair and shipbuilding. As a docent at the San Diego Maritime Association, David has spent many hours aboard the Star of India. This sailing ship was launched in 8963 with the name Euterpe. In Greek mythology, Euterpe was the muse of lyric poetry. Perhaps Euterpe took a liking to David. David’s life took a downturn when he went into a deep depression With the help of family, therapists and fellow patients, the depression was conquered. Self expression is part of mental health therapy. A therapist suggested that David could write a poem or short story if he didn’t want to draw or paint. After some time, David felt brave enough to read his poems in public. On Earth Day 2019 he joined the circle of Poets at The Bench in Balboa Park. David was welcomed by the host Deborah Ramos and the other poets. Now he is thrilled to be a participant in the San Diego poetry community. David’s poems have been published in Bads Against Hunger Anthology, San Diego Poetry annual, End of an Era, January 21, 2022, and I Ache in the Places I Used to Play.
