Resistance Radio - Guest:Mara Robbins

Mara Robbins is a practicing poet, creator of ongoing narrative, project director for 1000 flags / 1000 waters and community organizer who now lives in Richmond Virginia after 40 years on the high plateau of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Floyd County, VA. She pulls over to move turtles out of the road, works daily to protect and cherish water, loves trees and cares for people who live in trees to defend what they love from 42-inch fracked gas pipelines. She also might hand you a sharpie marker and ask you to write poetry on her cargo pants. Her writing has appeared in Floyd County Moonshine, New York Quarterly, Nantahala, Real Simple, Still Journal and other eclectic publications.
