Interview: Word in Action flood relief fundraiser

UP Poet Laureate

Martin Achatz, the Poet Laureate of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, stopped by our studios to talk about "Word in Action," an evening of poetry readings to help raise funds for flood relief in the Keweenaw.

The event takes place Wednesday, August 8, at 7pm at the Joy Center in Ishpeming.

Hans Ahlström is the host of several programs including the daily musical variety show Weekday, the mostly straight ahead jazz show Night Studio, the self explanatory Blues Today, and the eclectic Sound Spectrum. You can also hear Hans as the local host of NPR's All Things Considered news magazine. He also helps manage Public Radio 90's web content, interviews local and visiting writers and artists, works with NMU student interns, and writes the occasional news story.
