Thanks to the Jack Straw Writers Program, I have 2 podcasts to share. One features my first reading as a Jack Straw Writer in May 2014. It includes a few excerpts from my memoir preceded by a brief interview with curator extraordinaire Felicia Gonzalez.
Reading at the Seattle Public LIbrary, Central Branch
This podcast features all of the writers in the 2014 Jack Straw Writers Program. Each reading is approximately 5 minutes long. My piece starts at 19:50, but I encourage you to listen to all the readings of these terrific writers!
Many thanks to Chris Higashi, Program Manager at the Washington Center for the Book, for coordinating this event.
Happy listening!
This was the first time I have heard your writing. As a friend and fellow writer, I was impressed. Looking forward to reading/hearing more!
Love, Carol
Carol, thanks for your encouragement! My Jack Straw year was very productive and amazing. I now understand the importance of performance and using your voice to enhance the words in a reading although I’m still squeamish about listening to myself.
