Poets and a photographer honor the everyday

On today's show...

In her new book, poet Linda Hasselstrom celebrates South Dakota's land and the lives shaped by it.

"Beginning, Again" is a follow-up to "Walking: The Changes." Like the first collection, the new book is a collaboration between Hasselstrom and photographer James Parker.

She lends her words and he offers his lens to this meditation on life on the prairie (1:00-28:58).

New poet Joy Moore shares her journey to publication. Her collection "Joy in the Middle" captures the everyday emotions, triumphs and challenges of life and motherhood.

Moore is also an adjunct immigration law professor at the University of South Dakota. She discusses why she often begins a class by reading a poem (28:59-49:30).
