Episode 012: JoAnna Ver Meer Oh my friends, I am so very excited about today's Coffee Break episode (a.k.a. Tea Break, just for today). That's because I'm talking with my good friend & poet JoAnna Ver Meer, and I think that, by the end of this episode, you'll adore her as much as I do. "I don't think I would be a happy person if I couldn't write every day." Today's episode is a celebration of JoAnna's newest book of poetry, Syllables and Other Poems (published under her maiden name of JoAnna Tatman), and a look at how this poet balances her creative writing life with her technical writing life. "There's so much beauty around us that we miss it." JoAnna is a gentle and quiet spirit who has worked to develop a writer's mindfulness, read widely from the classics, and find confidence amidst her natural shyness. Listen to today's episode using the controls above or on iTunes, and while you're at it, be sure to follow Jo on Twitter or snag her books Walking After Rain or Syllables and Other Poems. (Again, her books are published under her maiden name of JoAnna Tatman.) Enjoy! You can help keep my dream (a.k.a. my podcast) alive.
