Our guest in this edition of Radio Curious is Anthony Adams, Esq., is currently, among other things, a Deputy Public Defender in Mendocino County, California. Heâs also poet, formerly a California State Parole Commissioner, and served in the California State Assembly.
At a local Bar Association gathering, Adams recited his poetry and shared stories about his work as a Parole Commissioner. I decided to invite him to be a guest and asked him to tell us about his life.
Anthony Adams visited Radio Curious on August 23, 2018, and described himself and an âinteresting fellow⦠A deeply romantic person.â In the course of our conversation his self description revealed itself. We began when I asked him about poetry related to his work.
The books Anthony Adams recommends are âNine Horses: Poems,â by Billy Collins, a former national Poet Laureate; âThe Dove Keepers,â by Alice Hoffman; and â1492: A Novel of Christopher Columbus, the Spanish Inquisition, and a World at the Turning Point,â by Newton Frohlich.
