Steve Zeitlin, founding director of CityLore and author of The Poetry of Everyday Life: Storytelling and the Art of Awareness (Cornell University Press, 2016) and Bob Holman, poet, spoken word performer, filmmaker and proprietor of the Bowery Poetry Club, talk about their new project, a forthcoming book of poems called All the Voices: Where I'm From – Politically. They are inviting listeners to participate and will be taking the POEMobile on the road in August to gather more poems. They are joined by contributors Simba Sandra Yangala, who emigrated to the U.S. from what was then Zaire as a teenager, and Kieran Coughlan, who runs a truck repair shop in Yonkers.

They want your poems for All the Voices.  Click on the link for how to contribute where you're from -- politically, and some questions to get you started.  The deadline is September 30th.
