Collaborators’ Q&A: Poet Lynn Schmeidler: I would ask viewers/readers to sidle up to this Broadside, press an ear to it and listen. What music is playing on this radio? And who’s the DJ?

This is especially true of this piece. In the poem I had the opportunity to hear a viewer’s response in a rich articulate form.
