Reading Nancy Ryan (1932-2025)

A celebration of her work by Taos poets

A reading of Nancy's poetry by Kat Duff, Kathy Goss, Sofia Greenberg, Rick Haltermann, Anne MacNaughton, SawnieMorris, and Magdalene Smith, with music by Lisa Carver. The event is a fundraiser for Cultural Energy/KCEI-FM.

Nancy Ryan, poet and radio personality, was a hidden treasure of Taos. For many years she hosted the radio show Womenspeakon KCEI-FM, interviewing women activists and workers in thearts.  In 2010 she published The Scattering Depth, a collection of her poetry illustrated by Theresa Gray.

As her eyesight failed, she invited her poet friends to help edit her work and to read it at public gatherings.  The present reading represents the fulfillment of Nancy's wish for one more performance of her work by her fellow poets. She also planned to help organize a fundraiser for Cultural Energy/KCEI-FM. Tonight's event brings these two purposes to fruition.
