My Voice Ran Away

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).

Show Notes:

Today’s featured poem, “My Voice Ran Away” was by Xaiviar.  You can support students like Xaiviar by spreading the word about our podcast, purchasing student writing anthologies in our website store, and donating to help our ongoing work via our website’s secure donation portal.

The day after the What No One Ever Tells You book launch, Matt and Alvin enjoy/labor over a piece from the YMCA Oasis Daylight Center site that afters the poem REVERB by poet Robert Rottet.

Matt shares updates from UW’s collaboration with the Washington State Arts Commission, as well as information regarding HIDDEN TRUTH, the upcoming showcase from the Migrant Leaders Club. Also, an update from One Year Writing in the Margins, an initiative challenging teachers and writers to spend one year facilitating creative writing workshops in at-risk community settings.

Note: We are a creative writing program serving at-risk populations. We do not broadcast names or identifying details of the students we work with.
