Paper Knives
The Poetry Movement
Join The Poetry Movement for the Paper Knives podcast, where you'll get interviews with poets from the Chicago-Milwaukee corridor & Lake Michigan region of the mid(we)st as they share poems, reflect on the writing craft, and discuss the communities that have fostered their writing, publication, and performance. As an audio-video supplement to the Paper Knives email newsletter, these conversations with emerging and established authors from Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan build Chiwaukee literary infrastructure where poetry and place meet in our shared poetic community. We interview traditionally published and self-published poets, performers of spoken word and slam poetry, and hybrid text writers. Some write for a living, some teach for a living, some have other day jobs entirely. Some don't pursue publication at all. The mid(we)st is where we're in the midst.
