Linebreak | God's Tears in the Eyes of Children

LINEBREAK is a single piece of student writing, offered as a pause during your daily life.  We hope it will be generative of further creativity, perspective, and thought.

Show Notes:

Today’s featured writing was by Ali, a writer experiencing incarceration in Oregon, who submitted to our ONE PAGE publication opportunity for incarcerated writers.   You can support our students, ONE PAGE, and writers like Ali, by spreading the word about our podcast, purchasing student writing anthologies in our website store, and making a donation to help sustain our ongoing work via our website’s secure donation portal.

1.  Please consider listening to S5E9, “Victor Manuel Vivanco Reyes,” to learn about/support Victor, former student now alumnus of our program.  Victor is currently being detained by ICE in the Seattle/Tacoma area.

2.  We regularly hear from folks asking how they can be involved with—or help out—Underground Writing.  We’re grateful for the interest.  Please check out our “Get Involved” page on our website: https://undergroundwriting.org/get-involved  Also, to highlight a few inroads for getting involved:  1) If you live locally, consider joining us for our once-a-month re/vision volunteer day (https://undergroundwriting.org/revision),  2) Spread the word about our Letters to a Young Inmate initiative (https://undergroundwriting.org/letters-to-a-young-inmate), and  3) Consider partnering with us by becoming a patron-donor – we’re only able to do our work because of our individual donors and grant partners . . . and we are always in need of these donor-partnerships so that we can continue our work (https://undergroundwriting.org/donate).

We’re repeating ourselves, but it’s good to say again . . . Listeners!—You can also help us by writing a review on Apple Podcasts or other outlets. And something new—we may even read some of them on the air. Podcast reviews help other like-minded folks find out about our show, as well as our broader work. Any help you can lend to this effort would be greatly appreciated.
