Journeying '18 Revisited

Journeying '18 Revisited

The Underground Writing Podcast is an audio channel focusing on student writing. Flowing in and through this river, as it were, are interviews, guests, and organizational updates, as well as two smaller tributaries: Linebreak (a single piece of writing) and Kite (our student writing audio zine).

Today’s student writing was a poem by Lucian, who was a student at our writing workshop site inside Skagit County Juvenile Detention.  Lucian’s poem, “Journeying,” appears in our 1st anthology, What No One Ever Tells You (available on our website: www.undergroundwriting.org).

Linebreak | To Myself When I Get Out

The Underground Writing Podcast is an audio channel focusing on student writing. Flowing in and through this river, as it were, are interviews, guests, and organizational updates, as well as two smaller tributaries: Linebreak (a single piece of writing) and Kite (our student writing audio zine).

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.

Today’s student writing is a poem by Josh, a student at our workshop site inside Skagit County Juvenile Detention.

Some items mentioned in—or aligned with—today’s episode + Announcements:

1.  More about processing things via talking aloud to yourself (ALSO true of writing such thoughts—both can be truly helpful).

2. For a 5th year in a row, we have received a very significant organizational grant from an Anonymous Donor via the Seattle Foundation.  We want to thank the donor—we hope you’re listening, and the Seattle Foundation for believing in the work we’re doing and helping our students continue to read, write, and make their voices heard.

3.  We’re excited to announce that we’re in the very beginning stages of working on our third anthology of student writing.  Details are forming, and talks with a publisher are underway.  We’re excited and—as with all creative projects—letting the energy and ideas have a time of incubation before talking any more about it.  But stay tuned—more details will be coming in the months ahead.

And in case you don’t know, or haven’t revisited our work in awhile, we already have two anthologies of student writing—What No One Ever Tells You and When the Dust Rises—in stock and available via our website store – at www.undergroundwriting.org
