LISTEN: Lawrence Poet Brian Daldorph On Playing Poker With Death

Ann Palmer Photography

Poet Brian Daldorph is an assistant professor in the English department at the University of Kansas in Lawrence. Since 2001, he’s led a creative writing class for inmates at the Douglas County Jail. This experience has inspired his own work. 

For our new series WORD, Daldorph reads "One Time." 

All of our WORD readings, including bonus tracks by some poets, are archived on SoundCloud.
