Interview with Florence Sage: Part 2

Florence Sage Part 2 of 2 – David Gilmour having fun discussing poetry about men’s white underwear, dreams, and dad, written and read by Florence Sage. “Florence Sage is a poet in Astoria, Oregon, supporting area poetry mics, magazines and events since she began writing poetry in 1998. She was a founding member of the production committee for the FisherPoets Gathering from 1997 to 2020, and produced Monday Mike for Spoken Word at the River Theater for its four-year run in the early 2,000s. She now writes a poetry column for the regional paper, HIPFiSH (hipfishmonthly.com) and is on occasion called on as a workshop presenter and judge. What she likes best is reading poems to an audience. She is MC and a regular reader at the monthly Ric’s Poetry Mic in Astoria. Sage has two poem collections published: Nevertheless: Poems from the Gray Area, 2014, and The Man Who Whistled, The Woman Who Wished: A Polish-Canadian Story, 2021, a collection of 62 narrative poems about her young years with her immigrant family. Her third collection, What to Do with Night is scheduled for the end of 2022.
