My regular Open Mic audience knows that over the years most of the writers who have appeared here have been mystery or thriller or crime fiction authors, though every now and again I bust out with a nonfiction author – memoir, or biography, or perhaps a journalist like myself- and I’ve even had playwrights and a few songwriters. But today will be the first time I have ever been joined by a poet. And not just any poet, but the truly wonderful and talented L.J. Sysko, who joins me today from her home in Delaware.
