Kate Marshall Flaherty on Tuesday, October 20th at 2:00 pm

Tune in Tuesday, October 20th, at 2:00 p.m. for an interview with Kate Marshall Flaherty about her latest collection of poetry, Where We Are Going.

This is Kate Marshall Flaherty's third poetry book; her first two are Tilted Equilibrium and String of Mysteries. She has also published a chapbook, Unfathom, for which she won the 2006 Shaunt Basmajian Award. In the same year she was shortlisted for both the Pablo Neruda Award for Poetry and the Descant Best Canadian Poem. She has just finished participating in this year's Random Acts of Poetry, in which she "poemed" people in hospitals, cafes, parks, yoga classes, ESL classes, and in Parks and Recreation vehicles.

There will be a bit of reading, a bit of talk, and an excerpt from her upcoming CD. Don't miss it!

Also, we’ll take a sneak peek at a soon-to-be-launched CD called Tree House with poems by Ronna Bloom and music by Peter Dick. It’s a really wonderful collaboration, and an example of the kind of creative sparks that can fly when two compatible artists start to riff on each other's work. According to Ronna Bloom:

I have been struck by how [Peter Dick] hears and translates the poetry, so that what is reflected musically attunes to the nonverbal core of the poem .... He took the poems through his own musical and felt landscape, one that resonated with mine and generated a "how did you hear that in there?" amazement .... I notice, too, that when I read poetry while he plays, I read differently. Slower. More deeply. I don't know why. Maybe it's trusting someone to carry this trembling thing with me, gently or raucously, into the air in this new form.

We Need a New Host

CKLN 88.1FM's In Other Words Seeks New Host/Programmer

CKLN's "In Other Words" is an established radio show that focuses on literature and spoken word – poetry, fiction, non fiction, small press, and anything in between. We are looking for a new programmer / host for one Tuesday of the month at 2pm.

If you’re interested, please let us know. Send a letter of intent, listing relevant experience (radio experience would be great but is by no means necessary), your areas of literary interest, and what you'd like to focus on in the show. The position would begin as soon as possible, and training would be provided. You would also be welcome to observe existing programmers and hosts in action.

As one of several hosts, you would be responsible for producing, organizing and delivering the content of your assigned Tuesday. Each host/programmer has their own style, which ensures variety and diversity week to week on In Other Words.

Please consider the following when applying: What kinds of writers or performers would you like to feature? Do you prefer interviews or recordings, or a combination of both? In addition to producing a monthly show, hosts must be able to commit to technical training, once-a-year fundraising, CKLN meetings and occasionally filling in for other hosts. For information about ckln's mandate, please see www.ckln.fm.

This is a volunteer position.

Feel free to email any questions you have to inotherwords@ckln.fm . Many thanks in advance for your interest and we look forward to hearing from you.

Deadline October 31, 2009. Send Word documents or your application information in the body of an email to inotherwords@ckln.fm



Sincerely,

In Other Words programmers:
Charlie Huisken
Diana Kiesners
Jennifer LoveGrove

I recently reactivated past shows and interviews for you to download in mp3 format. Please feel free to enjoy them. They're generally unedited at this point, which may mean you have to fastforward through 5 or so minutes of the previous show before you reach "In Other Words," but once I get some software, I can fix that.
