Immigration Poetry on KPFK Website and More on Slicing the Bread

KPFK, Pacifica Radio, included my "Ode of the Lost" in their Immigration Poetry Series. Conceived by Marlene Bond, with editorial assistance by Lois P. Jones, the series has featured a diverse range of poets.

MAJA TROCHIMCZYK: An Ode of the Lost
MARIA ELENA BOEKEMEYER: My Heart in Handcuffs
TERESA MEI CHUC: Immigration
SARAH THURSDAY: Murietta

Lois P. Jones thus introduced my poem - which is posted as a recording and text on KPFK website:
