FAIRY STORIES FOR REAL, Poetry Reading by Ginnie Siena Bivona

Poetry performed by actress VAL COLE

Matthew Toffolo interview Ginnie Siena Bivona:

Matthew: What is the theme of your poem?

Ginnie: The basic idea, I suppose, is the age old classic concept of finding the perfect lover and living happily ever after. And sometimes (I’m told) that happens…and sometimes not.

Matthew: How would you like people to respond when they read or watch your poetry reading?

Ginnie: Well, I hope they like it! And I hope it gives them a giggle or two.

Matthew: How long have you been writing poetry?

Ginnie: Since I was 42. One Sunday afternoon I wrote the first poem I’d ever written, it just spilled out onto the page. Now…next month I’ll be celebrating my 84th birthday…so I guess I could honestly say it’s been a long damn time.

Matthew: Do you have a favorite…
