Host Mathilde Rand enjoys a conversation with Wilma Marcus Chandler and Dena Taylor. The focus is on the many ways the Santa Cruz community, and beyond, has been enriched with poetry, prose, playwriting, music, and art. Much of their work has highlighted the importance of women in such projects as 36 North, In Celebration of the Muse, 8Tens@8 Play Festival, and their new endeavor, an anthology to be called When a Woman Tells the Truth: Writings and creative work by women over 80 years.

Dena’s website is denataylorbooks.com

Their books are available from Bookshop Santa Cruz and Two Birds Books.
The publisher of the anthology is Many Names Press, Blue Lake, CA

About The Author

Mathilde Rand and Laurie Corn

Mathilde Rand: December of 2008, I became part of the First Person Singular Team at KUSP (at that point we were five). During the last months of KUSP in 2016, I was the last hold-out. Now I am providing the same 2-minute program at KSQD, Community Radio, because I wholeheartedly believe in giving community members a voice. I am also the treasurer at KSQD. LAURIE CORN: I am attracted to the process of reducing a meaningful story or opinion to 90 seconds. I am a writer, so editing and honing a piece is a special love of mine. I have joined Mathilde Rand as co-producer of First Person Singular, and I encourage you to share your commentary on the air. This is community radio at its best.
