On this Labor Day, we hear from Coloradans who labor over words. From verse for children to words about difficult jobs, some of our favorite conversations with poets.
- "The Hauntings:" Former pediatric pathological Gail Waldstein of Denver speaks about using poetry to reflect on her time working with very sick kids.
- Poetry all around us: Denver poet Michael Henry turns the humdrum stuff of everyday life into inspiration for his book, "Active Gods."
- Misery at work inspires verse: Robert Cooperman of Denver writes about his worst days as a New York City cab driver in his collection "Just Drive."
- Poems for kids: In David Mason's book "Davey McGravy," the main character uses his imagination to escape the loss of his mother and getting bullied at school.
