INTERVIEW

In this episode of Catalyst Radio we preview the current edition of the Contemporary Writers Series at Aquinas College, which brings to Grand Rapids John D’Agata on Oct. 30.

The annual series of readings by contemporary writers provides for the Grand Rapid community the opportunity to hear notable authors from around the world discuss their craft and the writing process.

We have in studio to talk about the Contemporary Writers Series Linda Nemic Foster, who, along with her husband Dr. Tony Foster, established the series more than 15 years ago.  She will talk about the impetus for the series, the authors in the current series, and also what inspires her as a poet in listening to literary greats of the current era.

 

MUSIC

Michigan-made music featured in this episode of Catalyst Radio comes from Lac La Belle, with the new disc called A Friend Too Long. We’re playing the song “The Border.”

The Rapidian, a program of the 501(c)3 nonprofit Community Media Center, relies on the community’s support to help cover the cost of training reporters and publishing content.
