Jack Ridl’s workshops, readings, books, and friends. READING AT THE RED DOCK? Author Hop →. November 17, 2014. I would never have hallucinated that the day would arrive when I might be given recognition for a lifetime’s work. Yikes! Here’s how that happens. You do what you do every day for some 45 years and then you get an email informing you of such. Okay, so what happened? Yes, I was floored when told of these. I will try to believe this was deserved. I’ll try. I have, of course, overlooked others who ...

Jack Ridl’s workshops, readings, books, and friends. READING AT THE RED DOCK? TEDx Macatawa: The Perfectly Imperfect. November 5, 2013. I was asked to give a TEDx Talk.

Jack Ridl’s workshops, readings, books, and friends. November 16, 2015. A blog post written first for CavanKerry. Several years ago, I was invited to be on a panel at a writers conference. The participants were asked to talk about the topic, Can Poetry Be Healing? The first panelist began by stating outright that in no way can poetry be healing. He talked about the loved people he had lost to cancer, accidents, any number of other physical cruelties that he never could imagine poetry possibly healing.

Jack Ridl’s workshops, readings, books, and friends. TEDx Macatawa: The Perfectly Imperfect. Lifetime Achievement →. READING AT THE RED DOCK? August 4, 2014. Here’s a venue that will be a great place to have a good time, and the kind of place I’ve never dreamt of for poetry… I mean, like, I’ve read in a castle in Ireland, a coupla coffee shops, in someone’s backyard, in a horse barn, (starting to sound like Green Eggs and Ham, right?
