Matt reads from a piece by a juvenile detention student, after Jimmy Santiago Baca’s poem. He and Alvin celebrate the courage of voices from the underground. Matt shares about UW’s new non-profit status, thanks board members, and gives an update from our friend Quiara Alegría Hudes’ show Miss You Like Hell.

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.
