Sense Of Sound

Words Out West

In this episode, three writers have tuned into their sense of sound. The sound of memory, the sound of solace, and the sound of place.

Jay Kettering: Doreen (as read by Nathan Adkins) (short story)

The narrator gets broken down and rebuilt by a place. More specifically, by the sound of a place.

Chris Sand: Radio Works Fine (song)

It’s about dudes and their hard-luck lives, but how we can overcome.

Robert Lee: Sounds You Can Feel (poem)

A man hears the passing train cars of his youth, and as time chugs along, he keeps his eyes on the tracks and wonders where they will lead him.
