This evening I happened across a delightful little site on the Internet entitled The Writer's Almanac with Garrison Keillor. Yes, the same Garrison Keillor of Prairie Home Companion fame.
According to Wikipedia, "The Writer's Almanac is a daily radio and on-line program and podcast of poetry and historical interest pieces, usually of literary significance. It is hosted by Garrison Keillor and is produced and distributed by American Public Media. Program sponsors include, among others, The Poetry Foundation, publisher of Poetry Magazine and The Mosaic Foundation of Rita and Peter Heydon.
"Each program is five minutes long and begins with the phrase 'And here is the Writer's Almanac. . . .' Each daily program includes vignettes about authors and other noteworthy people whose birthdays coincide with the date of the particular program, as well as excerpts of important events in history. The program continues with one or more poems usually chosen by Keillor, and ends with Keillor's traditional sign-off, 'Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.'"
Not bad counsel: Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.
