Local poet Jonathan Potter had a national airing today. Garrison Keillor read Potter’s poem “You and I” on “The Writer’s Almanac” on NPR this morning.

Potter pronounced himself “giddy with gratitude, grateful with gidditude, and feeling slightly above average.” You can read what else Potter says about it here.
