Fisher Poets Gathering: Johanna Reichold

Feb 25, 2020

This weekend is the 23rd Annual Fisher Poets Gathering. In honor of Fisher Poets past and present, today we’ll hear a song from the 2008 Gathering, recorded by KMUN radio at the Wet Dog Cafe in Astoria, as part of a CD project where artists agreed to allow their work to appear on an anthology of performances from that year. Johanna Reichold was a standout that year: a passionate woman poet and songwriter who here shares here song about a hellish captain: “The Whole Town Told Me Not to Work for You.”
