Ya'll Ready For This?

If you are reading this you probably already know both Derick Burleson and Terrance Hayes will be on this week's show.

Go.

Now.

Tell everyone you know to listen.

We're hoping to get to know these poets better, maybe even learn a bit about the art and science of this sweet science with two real contenders.

If you've sold your radio to buy more poetry books, don't miss the chance to see Terrance Hayes Friday the 18th at the Museum of the North. Show starts at seven. If you've sold your feet, you're committed.

This reading is guaranteed to go down like a pre-lapsarian post-modern funk rave without the twenty dollar cover or two drink minimum.

I like to think we're hosting the day after after party

Derick, author of "Ejo" poems detailing the Rawandan genocide, is promoting his new book of poems "Never Night" which will appear on bookshelves everywhere this May.

Terrence Hayes, author of "Muscular Music", "Hip Logic", and "Wind in a Box" has won so many awards it boggles the envy, will also join us for what is sure to be two hours of truly awesome poetry.

Tune in - its good for your soul.
