Wordlights Hour on Shady Pines Radio

Tune in every Saturday from 6PM to 7PM at www.shadypinesradio.com to hear poems by poets from Portland and elsewhere. Read more below about the show and submitting your recordings!

On May 2nd, among others we’ll broadcast poems sent in by Greg Bee, Alejandro Jimenez & Jacqueline Suskin!

Wordlights Saturday poetry evenings, presented by NovaPDX & Rocking Frog Cafe and curated by Portland poet Igor Brezhnev, continue as an internet radio show on Shady Pines Radio. Huge thanks to Shady Pines Media for providing us with this platform to share our poetry.

We will be pre-recording the shows on Wednesdays to air on Saturday, since our first two live shows have been prone to tech glitches—so send in your recordings early. Thank you!

To submit your audio recordings of poems for our show send them to wordlightspoetry@gmail.com. Please introduce yourself, tell the listeners how to find your work online and read a poem or two, under 7 minutes. You can also submit your poetry albums to our collection to feature on the radio, if you do, please include a link where your album can be purchased so we can promote your work.

If you would like you can send us chat messages during the show on Skype—we are there under “Wordlights Poetry”—as we get more set up we’ll start taking your questions and having call-ins to the show.

Sign up to our mailing list at wordlightspoetry.com for updates.

Thank you!
