Speaking of the Arts

This week host, Diana Moxon, takes a look back at two conversations she had with Columbia-based poets Lynne Jensen Lampe and Barbara Harris Leonhard in October and November last year. Both Barbara and Lynne had recently released collections of poems, both of which explored their relationships with their mothers and the complications that post partum depression and alzheimers had on their time together. Their collections of poems are eloquent, moving, sad and funny, and both Lynne and Barbara shared the background to their collections with Diana.

What is Speaking of the Arts?

Speaking of the Arts is mid-Missouri's only weekly arts show. The show is hosted by Diana Moxon, who chats with actors, directors, authors, musicians, festival directors, event organizers, arts curators, and artists about the events they are involved in and also about their own works and their influences. Whilst the show focuses mainly on the mid-Missouri arts scene, Diana's guests have included international composers, conductors, authors as well as artists, musicians, and performers from around Missouri.
