Mighty mighty.

Music with words.

Originally broadcast on WKCR FM NY's Studio A, 11/9/2008, featuring E. M. Borkowski reading excerpts from "The Jackrabbit Conspiracies" which she wrote between the ages of 19 and 20. She blogs at http://wecanalmosttry.blogspot.com.

This episode was the original inception of an idea to feature, at least once a month, a writer in the beginning stages of their craft as a part of WKCR's Arts Programming. The intention of the Young Writer's Workshop (YWW) is to provide a platform for young, unestablished scribblers to work through the writing and revision process. The two-part component to the program is reading of work and then a Q & A session. While writing is an often arduous and solitary passion, my hope is that by bringing some of these voices over the radio waves, young writers will have a place to share what is most important to them. Perhaps, their writing will reach others.

The artist discusses his work and background, his influences and philosophies, the crossover between Art Street and Wall Street and Main Street so to speak, why thinking is a hobby that isn't valued enough, and much more. Including a description of his new installation "Whoever Emerges" open Summer 2009 in New York City. http://www.whoeveremerges.com
