My radio commentary, “Observations from a Working Poet,” runs on community station KVMR-FM Nevada City, CA and airs for four minutes every Friday. It has recently moved to 8:06 a.m. Pacific Time, becoming part of Lisa the Kitten’s Friday Morning Show “Everything But the Kitten Sink.”

The station calls the archived commentary “podcasts,” and you can find them here.

Says one donor: “I swoon over Molly Fisk’s Observations from a Working Poet!”

I’ve written 685 essays since I began this gig in October, 2005, many of them collected in my small and excellent books: Everything but the Kitchen Skunk, Naming Your Teeth; Houston, We Have a Possum; Using Your Turn Signal Promotes World Peace; and Blow-Drying a Chicken. (Available here.) They make very good presents, if you are searching for a present. I have never in my life produced this many of anything.

My friend Steve Sanfield once said, “And some of them are pretty good!” I will spare you my retort, as we aren’t supposed to speak ill of the dead.

This is the entrance to my front yard, in case you were doubting that I am an actual poet. Photo taken by: Tete Cobblah
