We're Back

"Line Break" is back in business. After Dr. Cooper's stellar show, the Line Break production crew was hamstrung when Wendy the musical mistress broke her wrist during roller derby practice. Three weeks and nine titanium screws later we're back to a minimum operating standard (please hold the applause).

I still have to schedule our upcoming shows but, with the well of poetic talent here at U.A.F., expect awesomeness.

Its good to be back.

Final Year

Third year of the M.F.A.

Line Break enters its final year. We kick off our fall schedule beginning in October. Expect greatness.

Remaining Summer Schedule

If you happened to tune in to KSUA Saturdays between noon and two recently you might have caught an episode of our "Paradise Lost" Summer programming.

Then again, I might have been fishing.

For those reading along this week we're starting Book III - free from perdition Satan crosses the realm of Chaos and Night towards some mysterious new creation and state.

You are our only hope

As "Line Break" moves into it's second summer, I would like to do more shows featuring the work of living poets who are not yet part of the canon (i.e. Seamus Heaney, Lee Young-Li, and Charles Simic) but have at least one book out by a reputable publisher.

Such poets are , thanks to our reliance on the retail transmission of art, hard to find. "Line Break" needs your help.

Please e-mail, or comment on this post, your suggestions for upcoming episodes.

How often do you get the chance to affect how the world sees poetry?

I do want to say though (for myself mostly I'm sure), the book is practical requirement due to the limitations of the show and not an aesthetic standard.
