Current State's latest Public Poetry Announcement with Anita Skeen, Director of the Center for Poetry at MSU.

It’s summer and that means that everyone is out enjoying the sunshine, humans and animals alike. Our Public Poetry Announcement this month is about one of the animals you might be finding digging up your yard or stealing strawberries from your garden.

Current State brings you the director of the MSU Center for Poetry Anita Skeen, reading the poem “For the Chipmunk in My Yard” by Robert Gibb.
