Packa speaks with Radio Gallery this week about her role as Poet Laureate. She shares her plans and ideas for bringing poetry into the public eye. Packa also talks about her projects such as "Dear Bird" and gives an insight into her use of various forms of art from film to music in her presentations. She has published work and does readings, as well as spoken word performances. Her passion for writing and poetry stemmed from a writing club she joined in her 20's and has developed into a passion she uses in order to share and explore ideas.
