Rorie Kelly and the Poetry Corner on the Jim Dexter show.

 

Captain Phil celebrates the addition of Rorie Kelly and the Poetry Corner on the Jim Dexter show, Tuesday mornings from 6am to 8am

Poetry Corner with Rorie - Each week musician Rorie Kelly highlights the work of a local Long Island poet. Soundscapes are created by layering improvisational music and sounds on the fly, followed by a live reading of the poem. No two performances are ever the same.

If you enjoy Poetry Corner, please consider supporting the poet by purchasing their work or showing up to a local reading event.

END OF THE LINE: THE WOMEN OF STANDING ROCK is the incredible story of a small group of indigenous women who risk their lives to stop the $3.8 billion Dakota Access oil pipeline construction that desecrated their ancient burial and prayer sites and threatens their land, water, and very existence.
