Richard Brockman reads from Life After Death, his evolution from a child overwhelmed by trauma to a man who has struggled to reclaim his past.Life After Death tells the story of a boy who died and of a man who survived when the boy and the man are one and the same. It tells a very personal--yet tragically common--story of irredeemable loss. It tells the story of story itself. How story forms. How it grows. How it changes. How it can be broken. And finally, how sometimes it can be repaired.
Life after Death was published in 2023 by Arcade Publishing.
We present Vera Graaf reading from "Virgin Territories," her book set on a Caribbean island.
We present poetry, thoughts and prayer inspired by the 2014 Gaza war, a military operation launched by Israel after rocket fire from Gaza struck Israel. It was recorded in the summer of 2014 as the war continued. The recent repetition of that scenario in 2021 inspired tonight's East End Ink.
Heard were Kathy Engel, Pamela Kallimanis, Kimberly Wilder, Sigrid Meinel, Clare Coss, Blanche Weisen Cook, and the former minister at Incarnation Lutheran Church, Reverend Katrina Foster.
