A Poet’s Guide Dog Helped Him Discover a New World (4/20/18)
Description
Born with a condition that left him legally blind and in a family that kept his disability hidden, it wasn’t until poet and professor Stephen Kuusisto was in his late 30s that he decided to train with a guide dog. Jeffrey Brown talks with Kuusisto about his memoir Have Dog, Will Travel and how his life-altering connection with a four-legged companion helped him become his own advocate.
