Ariadne’s notes: The World Poetry Cafe Radio Show with hosts Ariadne Sawyer and Jaz Gill, operator Sarah Jo, celebrated the talent of Kagan Goh in a special radio show last night, September 15th. I was honoured to read the Wedding Poem that I wrote for Kagan and Julia, based on my parent’s tradition of having a Weekaversary. They put aside the day to celebrate and renew their everlasting love. My parents would be so honoured to know that Kagan and Julia are continuing the tradition. As a young child, I could join in and share my poems and drawings and even hold a candle. Added to the show, wonderful poems by Jaz and Kagan plus a very moving short story. Click HERE For the show!
