Blog: Letter Vox
"The word experience is like a shrapnel shell, and bursts into a thousand meanings" – so said poet, George Santayana. We at Pool ask, do these thousand meanings only occur on the page? What do you hear in your minds ear, when you read and when you write?
Radio National’s Book Show producer, Sarah LEstrange is calling for readers and writers to put their thoughts and word experiences down, not on paper, but on tape:
Contribute to ABC Radio National’s Book Show online audio documentary project ‘Letter Vox’.
We want you to tell us how you relate to and engage with books and writing sub/culture - as readers, writers and commentators.
We want to know about the communities you create to reflect on and react to the ideas in the books you read and the words you write.
Maybe you whittle the night hours away with your fan-fiction, you’ve written a novel in a month, or you’ve gone to a literary salon?
Or tell us about your love letters in the library, the rejection letters you’ve received from publishers, where you write and how you write.
Record an audio piece for Letter Vox of between 5 and 10 minutes about your experiences with books and writing and tell the rest of Australia about it.
Post a story from the literary edge into Pool, don't forget to tag it as ‘Letter Vox’, and it can be part of ABC Radio National's Book Show documentary project.
