In this brief YouTube video, author Lois Letchford, known for her memoir Reversed, introduces herself and presents a solo poetry reading. She reads an excerpt from Jack Palutski's poem "New Kids on the Block," contrasting two owls: an unassuming owl that quietly hoots in the darkness, and a self‑important owl that boasts a loud, condescending "hooooo!" The reading highlights the poetic use of owl imagery to explore themes of humility versus arrogance, and concludes with a simple thank‑you.
