“I didn’t come to poetry until relatively late in my life.” —Karen Solie
It took Windham-Campbell Prize recipient Karen Solie many years before she started reading poems “with any seriousness.” When she did, she became fascinated by the effects poetry was generating for her—emotionally, intellectually, and physically—and grew interested in the puzzle of writing poetry herself.

Remembering the great Erroll Garner who was born on this day in 1921. One of the most original, intuitive and exciting pianists to emerge during the modern jazz era, Garner was one of the most well known and influential pianists in the world during his lifetime.
By all accounts self-taught, Garner never studied music formally and never learned to read music. Nevertheless, he possessed dazzling technique and a totally unique playing style, including his trademark “strumming” of the chords he played with his right hand.
He was an outstanding improviser who made full use of the piano keyboard, imparting a lush, orchestral feel to his interpretations of popular songs. Garner’s own jazz piano compositions include Blues Garni, Erroll’s Bounce, and his most famous piece, Misty, which became a jazz standard.
He released music on over 40 labels, received multiple Grammy nominations, and recorded one of the greatest selling jazz albums of all time, Concert By The Sea which was released in 1955.
Here, he is performing “Afinidad” live in France, 1972.
