The word "circle" comes from the Greek "kirkos," which means ring. Aside from its importance in geometry, the circle is also used as a symbol of infinity, depicting a line that is never-ending. Our mission to bring you the best poetry being written today is infinite, so this week circle ‘round your radio to hear an hour of poetry and music containing circles. You’ll hear poetry by Averill Curdy, Frank X. Walker, Tina Pisco, Bruce Smith, Erica Wright, Ed Pavlic, and Deborah Ager among many others and music by Greg Atkinson, The Kyoto Connection, Lucy Foley, Taigerbery and Jazzafari among many others. We’re coming full circle this week on melodically challenged, where yesterday’s poetry comes alive and today’s poetry rocks!

Love knows not distance; it hath no continent; its eyes are for the stars. Gilbert Parker
Don't miss our show Going the Distance--It's out of this world! This Tuesday (THAT'S TOMORROW!) at 7pm EST on 88.5 WRAS - Album 88 that's. Here are some lines from a poem you'll hear in the show:
Distance Between Desires by Sean Hill
From the moon to the end of this poem�
hums the distance between desires.�
In troughs of night Jasmine slept,�
numb from the consumption of rays�
from the moon. Through to its end, this poem�
fends off desire. A toast to the heavy�
drum that pulls us daily and pushes us to�
hum the distance. …

The human voice can never reach the distance that is covered by the still small voice of conscience. Mahatma Gandhi
Don't miss our show Going the Distance this Tuesday at 7pm EST on 88.5 WRAS - Album 88 that's. Here are some lines from a poem you'll hear in the show:
Late Shift by Tim Seibles
Places—�
maybe dreams�
from which I cannot return: the velvet�
touch of Her lips, first light�
fingering a cup: sacred dislocations�
of mind—the way the right sound�
becomes visible.�
Where I am now�
it’s later—the clocks have been amended�
to include all the strange hours—�
and Someone cracked my name�
as if all my life I’d been locked inside.�
I know the shelves stay stocked, big cars lead the chase,�
there’s always more and more to eat.�
But was that ever my country? …

Sorrows are like thunderclouds, in the distance they look black, over our heads scarcely gray. Jean Paul
Scarcely gray, Jean Paul, but full of a hard rain and lightening! For the moment, but hopefully gone by next Tuesday at 7pm when you can hear our show Going the Distance on 88.5 WRAS - Album 88 that's. Here are some lines from a poem you'll hear in the show:
Long-Distance Sonnet by Peter Kline
Here, fat raindrops shatter. There, it’s clear�
and far too cold for rain. I try to imagine�
Anywhere: a smoke-blind gare du nord�
where stragglers climb into their red-eyed dream,�
but I can’t change our silhouette to theirs.�
You walk back home from work, and the same keys�
turn the same locks. The morning paper’s thin. ...
