Jodeen Revere Reads Her Poem, "Summer, 1987"

It’s the fourth and final full week of September and we’re hearing writing along the theme of shadow this month. Today, Jodeen Revere shares some of her own work, a poem titled "Summer, 1987.” Revere is an actor and writer who has performed in the Treasure Valley for 30 years. She’s been a featured storyteller for Story, Story Night and Ming Studio, and recently finished a five-year stretch of writing and performing – for both film and stage – her one-person show "The Persistent Guest"

Something I Heard is supported by Idaho Commission on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.

I started working with Boise State Public Radio in 2018, first as a freelance podcaster and co-host of You Know The Place, which ran for six award-winning seasons, visiting funeral homes, ostrich farms, and nude retreats for the story. I later began working as a contract producer on Reader’s Corner and Something I Heard, the former in its 24th year of interviewing NYT-bestselling, Pulitzer and Nobel Prize winning authors, the latter a bite-sized literary break, along a monthly theme.
