From the Studio: Poet Rhiannon McGavin

Rhiannon McGavin is in town to perform a reading of her poetry, along with local poet, Afaria Scott, at Auntie's Bookstore on Saturday evening. 

She has performed original poetry on Grace Cavalieri's "Poet and the Poem" podcast; NPR; and at multiple venues across the nation. McGavin is a 2016 YoungArts Finalist in Writing for Spoken Word, and is the current Los Angeles Youth Poet Laureate. Her book of poems, BRANCHES, was published in June and will be available for purchase at the event.

Verne Windham got his start at Spokane Public Radio 20 years ago. “I came in to complain and they hired me.” He’s now the Program Director, as well as the host of Morning Classical and Concert of the Week. When choosing music for Morning Classical, Verne likes to keep the agenda as broadly defined as possible. For Concert of the Week, he focuses on the best of recent local performances, mostly classical in nature. For many years, Verne was also the conductor of the Spokane Youth Orchestra. He enjoys gardening, his vintage car and playing French horn.
