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).
