Lois Eby and Elizabeth Oakes on Woman-Stirred Radio

This week, Thursday March 31st at 4:15,  I'm thrilled to welcome back Elizabeth Oakes to talk about her newest collection, Mercy in the New World, perhaps her most haunting and tangibly profound work yet.  




Co-founder and co-editor of the Kentuck Feminist Writers Series, Elizabeth Oakes is the author of three volumes of poetry: The Farmgirl Poems, which won the 2004 Pearl Poetry Prize, The Luminescence of All Things Emily, and Mercy in the New World. She has published in such journals as Women's Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal, The Louisville Review, Harvard Journal ofFeminist Studies in Religion, and Room of One's Own, among others. She holds the Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University and taught Shakespeare and Women's Poetry at Western Kentucky University until 2009, when she retired to write. She lives in Bowling Green, KY, and Sedona, AZ. 

Then at 5:00, I welcome Vermont visual artist Lois Eby, whose work can be seen at The Vermont Arts Council Spotlight Gallery at 136 State Street, from  March 3rd until April 22nd. The retrospective, Momentary Dance: Lois Eby 2008-2010, can be seen March 3rd through April 27th. Click HERE to view her artist statement.
