Live at the LIVE @ your library Reading Stage

June 27, 2010

Live readings from popular and up-and-coming authors are hosted at the LIVE! @ your library Reading Stage in the exhibit hall at ALA Annual Conference, presented by the ALA Public Programs Office.

Thanks to generous support from the National Endowment for the Arts, this year's LIVE! Stage featured a special focus on poetry. Readings from many established and emerging poets represent the range of poetry, from rhymes formed on the page, to the rhythms of the spoken work—poems that are sensuous and sensory, witty and wicked, poems that come alive when read by their creators

Mary Davis Fournier caught up with authors Kwame Alexander and R. Dwayne Betts to ask how libraries impacted their lives.

 

Kwame Alexander is a poet, publisher, and an award-winning producer of literary programs

 

Reginald Dwayne Betts is a husband, the father of a young son and a poet.
