Wordslingers is live radio for poetry and the conversations and culture it ignites, with a particular emphasis on Chicago. Twice each month, poets and writers convene in WLUW's studios to read their work aloud, and explore how poetry interacts with Chicago's broader literary culture.
This Sunday, May 3rd join guest host Kurt Heintz (e-poets network) with young writers Nat Iosabaker and Victor Ortiz, as they talk about their experiences at Louder Than a Bomb and other venues where emerging youth writers are creating new culture. Then hear Jennifer Karmin (Red Rover Series co-curator) in her own reading, and in conversation about teaching poetry in its many diverse forms.
Wordslingers is presented by Shelly Nation and produced by Michael Watson. Listen to Wordslingers on WLUW, Loyola University radio on 88.7 FM in Chicago, or click to the live stream. Broadcasts are at 8:00 PM, on the first and third Sunday of each month. The archive is here.
