DELVING IN: Interview with Las Cruces Community Radio
11/14/21 – “Stuart Kelter interviews photographer and poet Meg Weston, whose frequent subject is volcanoes.

Her poetry and photography express her connection to the earth in all its sensual, emotional, and spiritual power. In 2020, she and Kathrin Seitz cofounded The Poets Corner, an online forum to bring together poets worldwide, to ‘bring community to the often solitary yet transformational experience of writing poetry and prose.’”
