Two Interviews on KSFR's "The Last Word"
I had the great pleasure of being interviewed by KSFR-FM's Carly Newfeld, host of the weekly show, "The Last Word." It aired on Jan. 12, 2023. Here's the link. Carly's a wonderful interviewer and we had a rich conversation. The podcast is posted on the show's archives, which include interviews with scores of terrific writers.
This was my second appearance on "The Last Word." Here's the link to the Oct. 7, 2021 podcast.
"This is one of the best of your programs Carly. It was wonderful, really flowed from beginning to end. Wayne is a beautiful poet; why is he not known as well as Mary Oliver, and hundreds of others? Perhaps because he doesn’t pursue the limelight so aggressively like others do. I can tell he’s a gentle soul. So sorry to hear about his beautiful wife Alice. I will look at his website and see when his poetry workshops happen."

A Word from Grandmother
Each day on my forest walk I pause
to press my palms against her skin,
the wrinkles on the backs of my hands
miniatures of her great ridges and ravines.
Each day I stand like that until she speaks,
blesses me with a one-word benediction.
Yesterday it was peace. Today it is patience.

You are a delight and we would love to have you back.")
