POET AS RADIO - 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.

July 14, 2012 Dana Teen Lomax
Dana Teen Lomax joined us live in the studio today to discuss her book Disclosure (Black Radish Books 2011). In Disclosure, Dana publishes documents from her life, from her fourth grade report card, to her recent bank records. This interesting conceptual work illuminates not only societal values, but also how we all participate in those values and judgments. She talked about the process of choosing documents for this very vulnerable and revealing work. During the second half, Dana discussed editing the upcoming SPT-related project, Kindergarde: Avant-Garde Poems, Plays, & Stories for Children. Dana also read from her current manuscript, Lullaby, a project that is a reaction to how the family structure mirrors societal norms. Click here to listen
