Crafting Connection EP 4: The Raincoat

The Raincoat - Ada Limon

New month, new theme! November’s theme is “Thankful.” The poems I have chosen are not just about thankfulness in the simple sense, they are about interpersonal thankfulness. Now more than ever a grateful community is essential and I hope you all join along in my crafty one.

The Raincoat -Ada Limon

Collage from today’s episode

Crafting Connection is an interactive literary talk show where each week a different poem or short story is read and discussed on-air.

A unique dimension of Crafting Connection is the take-home collage packets that will be available for pickup outside the KHDX booth. These packs will include craft materials and paper scraps related to each month’s theme.

The show is designed with reading and crafting intervals built into the hour and I will be making my own collage and discussing it throughout the show.

Listeners are encouraged to craft along with the talk show or craft on their own time! Everyone will have the ability to submit their collages for a feature on the show’s blog or even future KHDX promotions!
