I was eager to hear Walter Bargen, Missouri's First Poet Laureate, read his poetry and give good advice on writing a first line that arrests the attention and makes the reader want to keep going. He did not disappoint.
With charming diffidence and low key humor he kept us enthralled and left us wiser for it.
