A Piano Under the Stairs: Martha's Vineyard Poet Justen Ahren Ventures into New Territory

Jen Brown

April is National Poetry Month. On The Point, we welcome three poet guests, including Justen Ahren, Martha's Vineyard Poet Laureate.

Ahren has a new collection of poems called A Machine for Remembering, and a new album. He talks about inspirations for the album: a piano that briefly was stored at his house, and migrants whom he assisted that are living in a Greek refugee camp.
