Linebreak | I'm Not A Monster

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:

Today’s featured poem was by student and alumnus, Victor.  You can support students like Victor by spreading the word about our podcast, purchasing student writing anthologies and other merch in our online store, and making a donation to help our work continue – you can donate via our website’s secure donation portal here: https://undergroundwriting.org/donate

If you’d like to send an note of encouragement to Victor, drop it in an email and send to us as the same e-mail address: podcast@undergroundwriting.org / We’ll make sure to give it to his family.

We’ll keep you updated in the days to come about Victor’s story, as well as if we find out ways that our community of listeners might offer help.

Announcements:

1.  We regularly hear from folks asking how they can be involved with—or help out—Underground Writing.  We’re grateful for the interest.  Please check out our “Get Involved” page on our website: https://undergroundwriting.org/get-involved  Also, to highlight a few inroads for getting involved:  1) If you live locally, consider joining us for our once-a-month re/vision volunteer day (https://undergroundwriting.org/revision),  2) Spread the word about our Letters to a Young Inmate initiative (https://undergroundwriting.org/letters-to-a-young-inmate), and  3) Consider partnering with us by becoming a patron-donor – we’re only able to do our work because of our individual donors and grant partners . . . and we are always in need of these donor-partnerships so that we can continue our work (https://undergroundwriting.org/donate).

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.
