Blaze FAIRBANKS, AK (KUAC) - For years poet Peggy Shumaker and painter Kes Woodward have earned critical praise for their respective forms of expression. And for years when they both taught at the University of Alaska Fairbanks they talked about collaborating on a project. Now that both have retired from teaching they've succeeded. Tonight at the University of Alaska Museum they'll unveil the book of paintings and poems called Blaze. KUAC's Robert Hannon talked with Shumaker about the project and asked her to read her poem "Braided River".
