Diane Raptosh Reads "Harmonic" by Karen Donovan

Diane Raptosh, February's writer-curator on Something I Heard, reads "Harmonic," a poem by Karen Donovan.

Raptosh has served as Idaho’s Writer in Residence, and her 2013 poetry collection, American Amnesiac, was longlisted for the National Book Award. Her latest collection, I Eric America, came out in October 2024.

Karen Donovan is the author of four collections of poetry, including Fugitive Red, which won the Juniper Prize. Her latest collection, Monad+Monadnock, was published in 2022.

I started working with Boise State Public Radio in 2018, first as a freelance podcaster of You Know The Place, and later as a contract producer for Reader’s Corner. The former ran for six award-winning seasons, visiting funeral homes, ostrich farms and nude retreats for the story. The latter is now in its 22nd year of interviewing NYT-bestselling, Pulitzer and Nobel Prize winning authors.
