Planet Poet-Words in Space  – NEW PODCAST!  LISTEN to my 20016 WIOX Radio conversation with renowned, award-winning poet, Arthur Vogelsang.  Vogelsang is the author of seven books of poetry, including Twentieth Century Women and Cities and Towns, which received the Juniper Prize.

He is the recipient of a California Arts Council fellowship and three National Endowment for the Arts fellowships in poetry. Arthur's newest book, Orbit was published by University of Pittsburgh Press. "Part vaudevillian, part shaman, Arthur Vogelsang celebrates the tenacious hopes of the hopeless and repeats aloud the snarling prayers of the lost. Voice-driven and maximal, each its own tonal high-wire act, Arthur Vogelsang's poems sear the imagination while either touching or ripping out the reader's heart." - David St. John

My guest is Yang Huang. Her debut novel Living Treasures (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0989596052/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0989596052&linkCode=as2&tag=yanghuang-20&linkId=6GI272MM2NPTA2H6) won the Nautilus Book Award silver medal in fiction. Her newest book is My Old Faithful. (https://www.amazon.com/My-Old-Faithful-Stories-Juniper/dp/1625343361/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8) Evoking both the drama of familial intimacy and the ups and downs of the everyday, My Old Faithful (https://www.amazon.com/My-Old-Faithful-Stories-Juniper/dp/1625343361/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8) introduces readers to a close-knit Chinese family. These ten interconnected short stories, which take place in China and the United States over a thirty-year period, merge to paint a nuanced portrait of family life, full of pain, surprises, and subtle acts of courage. Richly textured narratives from the mother, the father, the son, and the daughters play out against the backdrop of China's social and economic change. With quiet humor and sharp insight into the ordinary, Yang Huang writes of a father who spanks his son out of love, a brother who betrays his sister, and a young woman who dares bring a brown man home to her conservative parents. She writes of an aging wife and the kindness she shows a young prostitute caught soliciting her husband; of a woman returning to China after many years to find her country changed in ways both expected and startling. This collection, by a writer who grew up in Jiangsu province and participated in the 1989 student uprisings, is remarkable in its sense of place and fidelity to lived human experience. Yang Huang grew up in China and came to the U.S. to study computer science. While working as an engineer, she attended Boston College and earned an MFA from the University of Arizona. Her collection of linked family stories, My Old Faithful, won the Juniper Prize for Fiction. Her debut novel Living Treasures won the Nautilus Book Award silver medal in fiction.
