Review of The Lumberyard: A Radio Magazine of Poetry, Prose, & Music 1:11

It's like a poetry DJ show - Ken & Aaron simply spinning some thoughtful and compelling spoken-word pieces.

What makes it work is the pacing, and the readers themselves. Polished performers presenting short pieces in a straightforward manner. Each one grabs you in its own way.

The music pieces have the same energy, and really work in context. I urge you to give it a listen.

WNPR will be broadcasting this episode of The Lumberyard on April 2, as part of our program Essential Radio - we're pairing it with Wordshakers, the Hearing Voices Special.
