David Love Lewis, a native of Texas, moved to Shreveport in 1980. He lives here with his wife Doris Wyatt Lewis — a lover of books— to whom he’s been married to for more than 20 years. “She knew that I was a poet when we met and she still married me anyway,” he said. 

 
Lewis is one of four recipients of the Shreveport Regional Arts Council $2000 Fellowship Award. Below he talks about the writers who’ve inspired him and his method of putting words to paper.

The staff of Red River Radio is deeply saddened to announce the loss of our friend and colleague Wally Derleth who passed suddenly in his home the morning of Saturday, January 22. Wally was the beloved host of Evening Jazz and Operations Manager since 1999.
