This Sunday with an inspiring conversation with Bri Gearhart Staton, poet and the first-ever winner of our 1st Place Golden Quippy Award from The 2026 Ps & Qs Audio Poetry Contest.
Bri was truly a treat to connect with. I was amazed to hear how she discovered poetry, in a battle of resilience and season of transformation. The warmth, bravery, and sincerity of her spirit and outlook is capturing, inspiring, and infectious - watch out!
Her poetry is something special, as well. Her award-winning poem, “Portrait of a Hungover Woman Eating a Tomato Sandwich”, was adored and unanimously applauded by the Ps & Qs contest panelists.
Bri brought her poem to life during our April 19th Ps & Qs Showcase Reading Party - thank you to all participants!
We’re very excited about this podcast, and raising a stage for writers, editors, and publishers doing important work deserving attention.
I want to give particular thanks to Judith Seaman, who gave a huge hand in helping the video editing of this episode. You can explore her videography and memoir-documentary services here: https://videomemoircreations.com/
