Ezra Pound once famously noted that "Poetry is news that stays news." This month we interview poet Terry A. Garey.

For many publications, poets are interviewed in a journalistic, narrative fashion, even when being interviewed by another poet. During the Poet to Poet series, we are turning that notion on its head, interviewing Minnesota poets from diverse communities in the forms they work in the most. This week we're interviewing Wendy Brown-Báez.

One of the big discussions of the last few years in the Lao Minnesotan community has been the issue of civic engagement and participation in community building. In 2015, we will see the 40th year since the end of the war for Laos, which changed our lives dramatically.

The poet Ezra Pound once said poetry is "news that stays news." Often, when we see poets interviewing other poets it is done in a journalistic fashion rather than in the forms we work in most. But what happens when poets do get interviewed in verse?
