POET AS RADIO is a weekly program on KUSF In Exile, airing Sundays from 11:30am to 12:30pm at www.savekusf.org. Jack Spicer said that the poet is not a creator, but a conduit, getting messages from an undefinable source to form the poem. He thought of a poet as a radio, broadcasting words. We like to think of POET AS RADIO as an opportunity for writers to broadcast their words as well.

June 2, 2012 Paul Vangelisti Part 1
This past Saturday we aired the first part of our interview with poet and translator Paul Vangelisti. Before getting to the interview, Delia and Nicholas talk about the experience of reading Paul's book Two (Talisman 2010), and the constraints used in his poems. During the interview, Paul talks about his experience writing the book and getting it published. He talks about the current state of education, its effects on our understanding of language, and the 'corruption' of language. Click here to listen
