Politics & Poetry Episode 7 ~ Part 2: Margaret Britton Vaughn
Episode 8
Saturday, 25 January, 2025
We are honored and thrilled to have Margaret Britton Vaughn, Tennessee's Poet Laureate. Welcome to Part Two of our podcast highlighting the writing talents of our current Tennessee Poet Laureate, Margaret Britton Vaughn. During an interview in 2022, the poet regaled us with tales of her Southern childhood, growing up during a time that was unabashedly patriotic. Timely even now, and perhaps even more so, we revisit her poems’ themes of democracy, freedom, prejudices, patriotism, family, and the importance of advocating for others. We begin with a reading of a poem about the flag, and then rejoin our conversation in progress. Come along with us as we catch up with Maggi Britton Vaughn.To learn more about Margaret Britton Vaughn visit: https://www.ereferencedesk.com/resources/state-symbols/tennessee/poet-laureate.htmlPublications ~ Poetry CollectionsBell Buckle BiscuitsStoriesby Margaret Britton Vaughn, Carole Brown KnuthHardcover, 128 Pages, Published 1999 by Isis PrISBN-13: 978-1-882845-07-1, ISBN: 1-882845-07-2Life's Down to Old Women's ShoesPoetry and Personal Essays [Paperback]by Margaret Britton VaughnPaperback, 61 Pages, Published 1997 by Bell Buckle PrISBN-13: 978-1-882845-06-4, ISBN: 1-882845-06-4Foretasting HeavenTalking to Twain at Quarry Farmby Margaret Britton VaughnPaperback, 55 Pages, Published 2001 by Bell Buckle PrISBN-13: 978-1-882845-10-1, ISBN: 1-882845-10-2America Showing Her Colors in Black and WhitePoetry and Photographyby Margaret Britton VaughnHardcover, 95 Pages, Published 2002 by Bell Buckle PrISBN-13: 978-1-882845-11-8, ISBN: 1-882845-11-0Acres That Grow StonesPoetryby Margaret Britton VaughnPaperback, 53 Pages, Published 1996 by Iris PrISBN-13: 978-1-882845-00-2, ISBN: 1-882845-00-5The Light in the Kitchen WindowPoemsby Margaret Britton Vaughn, Iris PressPaperback, 74 Pages, Published 1994 by Bell Buckle PrISBN-13: 978-0-916078-35-5, ISBN: 0-916078-35-3Grand Ole Saturday Nightsby Margaret Britton VaughnPaperback, 96 Pages, Published 1990 by Bell Buckle PressISBN-13: 978-1-882845-04-0, ISBN: 1-882845-04-8Southern Voices in Every Directionby Suellen Alfred, Margaret Britton VaughnPaperback, 159 Pages, Published 1996 by Bell Buckle PrISBN-13: 978-1-882845-01-9, ISBN: 1-882845-01-3Kinby Margaret Britton VaughnPaperback, 75 Pages, Published 1994 by Iris PrISBN-13: 978-0-916078-39-3, ISBN: 0-916078-39-6Referenceshttps://www.tnmagazine.org/treasured-tennessee-tributes-maggi-vaughn-offers-two-books-poems-pictures/https://www.kcbx.org/travel/2021-07-18/journeys-of-discovery-maggie-vaughn-tennessees-poet-laureate-rocking-for-26-yearshttp://www.educationupdate.com/archives/2005/April/html/Poet-Vaughn.htmlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ft1reCIZ0V4https://www.sct
