WHEN DOGS FLEW: Utah Poet Laureate Ken Brewer is known for his fine poetry and his wicked sense of humor. For a taste of both, go to the Utah Arts Council web pages and read "Why Dogs Stopped Flying.” In Brewer’s poem, dogs flew everywhere before humans arrived. “Their tails wagged/like rudders through wind,/their stomachs bare/to the sullen earth.” Brewer is one of the featured presenters at the Wyoming Writers, Inc., conference June 3-5 at Cheyenne’s Plains Hotel. Hear Brewer read the entire poem at the Utah Arts Council site.
