Student writing this week, "The Book Was Fat And Big" comes from the juvenile detention site. Matt and Alvin discuss how this piece of dream-vision literature joins the ranks of Paul Valéry, Coleridge, and John of Patmos. UW writing workshops often introduce poems and invite students' response to "after" them.Matt gives an update on a future teaching site: the Skagit County Community Justice Center. They discuss logistical tasks and the Justice Center in the context of Mount Vernon's former jail.Note: We are a creative writing program serving at-risk populations. We do not broadcast names or identifying details of the students we work with.LINKS OF INTEREST:What No One Ever Tells You, the UW anthologyThe Ecco Anthology of International PoetryPaul ValérySamuel Taylor ColeridgeBook of RevelationSkagit County Community Justice CenterPeter La Grand music
