 Poet and Western New Mexico University administrator Dr. Jack Crocker discussed his collection of poems, The Algorithm of I, with Lynn Moorer. Crocker said his poems examine just how programmed we are when we are born and, after that, what are the influences that program us—our parents, where we were born, and the culture we grow up in. Sharing personal and philosophical insights, his poems reflect on his time living in Mississippi and Florida, then his relocation to New Mexico. Crocker, as a long-time teacher of the art and craft of poetry, also shared several enlightening guidelines for students writing poetry.

We were at Monaco Lanes the night my friend Frank put his head through a plate-glass door.
He had passed out cold after drinking too much Ronrico 151, and we were trying to drag him out to the car. Rod held him up under his left underarm, and I held him up under his right. But it was winter in Denver and the sidewalk was icy. Rod slipped on his first step onto the ice, and Frank shattered the door with his head, without regaining consciousness. Don’t worry, he was too hard-headed to hurt himself. On this edition of Think Again, host Randy Harris welcomes Keith Whelpley for a personal and thoughtful conversation about Keith's 3 1/2 years of dealing with the healthcare industry in relation to his own cardiac condition. He speaks candidly about his experiences, his research, and his observations about what works, what doesn't, and why. Very insightful and pretty darned likely, now or later, to be directly or indirectly relevant for all of us.
