Inside The Blanket Fort: Episode 58 - 8/26/21

Journey back Inside The Blanket Fort as we continue our discussion with SIU Press acquisitions editor Jen Egan. This week we learn about two new upcoming books of Poetry from SIU Press.

Plus, catch this week's podcast of Blanket Fort Radio Theater's production of "The Undaunted Women of Nanking," as we hear Tsen Shui-fang’s account of the previous episode’s events. Having failed to prevent the assault of Ginling College by the Japanese soldiers, she and Minnie Vautrin take stock of the camp in the aftermath. They hope to expand the camp to make more room for the overcrowded refugees as the Japanese soldiers abduct yet more women.

Blanket Fort Radio Theater is a storytelling initiative of SIU Press in collaboration with the SIU Creative Writing Program and WSIU Radio.
