Father Michael Doyle On Haiku Poet Nick Virgilio

Christopher Benincasa talks to Father Michael Doyle, of Camden's Sacred Heart Church, about the up-and-coming Waterfront South neighborhood - and the legacy of American Haiku poet, and Camden native, Nick Virgilio. Father Doyle and the church have been instrumental in helping to establish the South Camden Theatre Company - the first theatre to be built in Camden in 100 years - a thriving community garden and greenhouse, and the Nick Virgilio Haiku Society.
