Listen to readings from the writers who were selected for the prestigious Jack Straw Writers Program. This reading features fellows in the 2016 Jack Straw Writers Program, hosted by curator Karen Finneyfrock. The 2016 Jack Straw Writers are Anis Gisele, Ramon Isao, EJ Koh, Robert Lashley, Casandra Lopez, Kirsten Sundberg Lunstrum, Corinne Manning, Ruby Hansen Murray, Shin Yu Pai, Alison Stagner, Shontina Vernon and Carolyne Wright. -- The Jack Straw Writers Program, now in its 20th year, was created to introduce local writers to the medium of recorded audio, to develop their presentation skills for both live and recorded readings, to encourage the creation of new literary work, and to provide new venues for the writers and their work. -- Each year 12 writers/writing teams are selected by a curator out of dozens of applicants, based on artistic excellence, diversity of literary genres, and a cohesive grouping of writers. The program features voice and presentation training, in-studio interviews, public readings, a published anthology, and podcasts. Live readings are recorded, and selected portions are produced for podcasts and radio broadcast. -- Jack Straw Productions is a non-profit organization that supports all forms of audio art through its programs for musicians, sound designers, choreographers, and writers.
