KJHK's "Poetry Power Hour" with Max Bryan

Thanks to Max for taking an hour to let me reminisce about my glory days as a student at the University of Kansas ("Rock Chalk Jayhawk")! Including a stint as a KJHK deejay for a drive-time alternative rock show, and publication in KU's Kiosk Literary Magazine (now defunct; it was long ago ... I'm old).

Recorded via Google Meet on May Day (5/1) 2026. Podcast publishing date (on Spotify, Podcast Addict, etc.) is still To Be Announced ... please stay tuned ...

Free State Book Festival (see The Lawrence Times preview article here)

at the Lawrence Public Library: https://lplks.org/

I had the honor of sharing an author table with the brilliant Tasjha Dixon: check out her website at www.empoweringkcwithtasjha.com and subscribe to her Substack, "The People's Oracle: Writings for Our Freedom." Thanks to Beth Gulley for organizing the poetry open mic where I read a couple random poems from my new book, and crossed paths with hardworking writers like Annette Billings, Diane Silver, Linzi Garcia, Debra Irsik, T.A. Dugan, Brian Daldorph, Ian Cook, and Will Averill. And, of course, I couldn't say no to helping staff the Kansas Authors Club table (I guess I could have said "no," but then I would have felt like a schmuck). Thanks also to Anamcara Press, the Raven Book Store, and Kansas Authors Club for helping the LPL co-host this community celebration!
