In this episode of Storycomic Presents, I sit down with writer, poet, and editor Erika Nichols-Frazer, the editor behind The Mountain Troubadour 2025: Volume 71. Erika shares insights into this year’s stunning collection of poetry from the Poetry Society of Vermont (PSOV) and how this historic literary journal continues to thrive with its first collaboration with Rootstock Publishing. We explore the poetry community in Vermont, the process of curating a journal, and why poetry still matters in today’s fast-paced world. Whether you're a poet, a reader, or just poetry-curious, this conversation celebrates the creative voices that fill Vermont’s literary landscape.
