In Danger
(a book of poetry)
By Suzanne Lummis
On October 4, 2000 & October 11, 200 Susanne Lummis was interviewed on the Jack Foley Program on KPFA. Jack Foley is a perceptive interviewer whose literary program airs at 3:00PM Wednesdays on radio station KPFA (94.1 FM, Berkeley, CA). Below are some MP3 files of her readings on the Jack Foley show. My apologies for the background noise. With the not so high technology I am using that is way the files came out. If you don't have an MP3 player you can easily download them for free form many places on the web. The Windows Multimedia Player for Windows 95 (if upgraded for free from Microsoft) will also play MP3's.
