Ken Sanders Rare Books: Welcome!

Poetry is Wanted Here
is Wanted Here (it's been canceled!)

For the last two years antiquarian Ken Sanders, poet Alex Caldiero, and former KCPW producer Lara Jones have hosted a monthly feature on KCPW's "Public Square" called "Poetry is Wanted Here." We believe the show is a much-needed spotlight on a part of our cultural landscape, and has been met with overwhelmingly positive reactions. The show is currently terminated and there are no plans to air new episodes at the present time.
Please take a few moments to write to the station and express why Poetry is Wanted Here is important, inspirational, influential, or simply entertaining to you.
