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).
We are a literature-based creative writing program serving migrant, incarcerated, recovery, and other at-need communities in Washington through literacy and personal transformation. We facilitate generative readings of literature spanning the tradition—from ancient texts to those written in our workshops. Honoring the transforming power of the word, we believe that attentive reading leads to attentive writing, and that attentive writing has the power to assist in the restoration of communities, the imagination, and individual lives.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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:
Tuesday, November 26, 2024
If you recently began listening to our podcast—or if you’ve been with us for a number of years—we want to remind you to check out the first 3 episodes of this reboot season to get an overview of where we’ve been and where we’re going. Check out season 5, episodes 1, 2, and 3.
Today’s featured poetry is included in our first anthology of student writing, What No One Ever Tells You.
The poems in this episode were written “after” the Swedish poet, Tomas Tranströmer. You can learn more about his life and work here: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/tomas-transtromer
Interested in reading more of Tranströmer’s work? We recommend this volume of his poetry (shout outs to New Directions for this lovely edition!): the great enigma (new collected poems)

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.
Thanks for listening, Friends.
Safe journey . . . and take good care.
