WORDS ON A WIRE: Cathy Linh Che

Azucena Dominguez

  Daniel talks with Cathy Linh Che, author of the poetry collection "Split," winner of the 2012 Kundiman Poetry Prize.  Cathy explains why she chose the contest route to try to get her works published rather than trying to find a willing publisher.  She also talks addresses the sexual abuse that is prevalent in her poetry collection.   http://cathylinhche.com/

Cathy LinhChe reads today's Poem of the Week - "Pomegranate."  

In this week's Poetic License, El Paso writer Azucena Dominguez shares the memory of a frightening snowy drive to Aspen (she has changed the names of those involved in this true event).

And Daniel tells us about his summer travels.

Aired July 20, 2014.
