Last week Larry Sawyer launched America's only live poetry radio show, Other Voices, on Chicago's Q4 radio, 1680 on the AM dial. It was heavy with goodness, including Michael Gregory Stephens in the studio talking about his days on the Lower East Side poetry scene and his run-ins with Thelonious Monk, along with call-ins from Timothy Yu, Nick Twemlow, and others. The show airs every Saturday from 3:00-5:00 p.m.
Next Saturday, the 17th, I'll be joining Larry in the studio. You can listen on the radio in Chicago, or hear it streaming on que4.org.
Then, on Tuesday the 20th, I'll be reading at the Poetry Foundation in Chicago (61 W. Superior, 7:00 p.m.) with my great mentor John Matthias and my former student Steve Halle. I'm thinking I'll bust out "The Kafka Sutra" for the first time in years, but don't let that deter you! John and Steve are fabulous readers.
