In honor of April being National Poetry Month, I catch up with Edward J Siegal, a local poet, about poetry and the things that inspire him to create on What’sUpNewp Radio Edition on AM 1540 WADK Newport. During the podcast, you’ll also hear a few of his locally-inspired poems.

Michelle Theroux Siegal, his wife, and a local musician. also joins the program and shares how she has created music from Ed’s poetry and entertains us with a song as well.
