An assistant professor of English at SUNY-Binghamton and one of the founders of the Jamaican Forum for Lesbians, All-Sexuals and Gays, Glave has written extensively from his point of view as a Black man, a gay man, a New Yorker and a Jamaican. His debut collection, "Whose Song and Other Stories", published by City Lights, has been widely acclaimed. Glave's work has long been an object of fascination for This Way Out's BRYAN GOEBEL, who has questions more political than literary to pose (with thanks to PAUL JAFFE for production assistance): includes comments about Arundhati Roy's essay "The Algebra Of Infinite Justice", which Glave says offers to queers in particular a broader geopolitical view of the historical background of 9/11, Glave's analysis of mainstream media and queer press reportage following the attacks, and his call for a more inclusive human rights perspective in the GLBT community; also features the world debut of Glave reading his "INTERVIEW WITH THE NOT-POEM", which addresses xenophobia and other underlying issues affecting the U.S. response to 9/11, to be published next year in the "Kenyon Review" (instrumental intro/transition/outro music from "Kid A" by RADIOHEAD, and with a re-intro/"TWO" I.D. at 6:10-6:30 into the segment/18:10-18:30 into the program, right before Goebel's intro to the Glave reading). . . . . 15:15 Closing Continuity/Credits. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:25 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28:40 ----------------------------Please note-------------------------------- Anyone with questions, suggestions, or *news stories* is encouraged to email Coordinating Producer Greg Gordon at TWOradio@aol.co ----------------------------- thanks! --------------------------------- STATION PROMO COPY: ANNCR: NEXT TIME ON "THIS WAY OUT", THE POST-9/11 POLITICS AND "NOT" POETRY OF AWARD-WINNG BLACK GAY WRITER THOMAS GLAVE...
