In Part One of this week’s show, we talk with author and poet Richard Michelson about growing up Jewish in an African-American neighborhood in New York and his books for children coming out of that experience. We talk about two of them: HAPPY FEET and TOO YOUNG FOR YIDDISH.

We also talk with Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Maxine Kumin in this excerpt from a previously aired interview about her latest collection of poems, JACK, AND OTHER NEW POEMS.

And we air an excerpt from a 2005 interview with Studs Terkel on part two of this show.
