This edition of Poet Ray'd Yo documents an October workshop of the Workers Writers School. The Worker Writers School organizes and facilitates poetry workshops with global trade unions, workers’ centers, and other progressive labor organizations, creating a space for participants to re-imagine their working lives, nurture new literary voices directly from the global working class, and produce new tactics and imagine new futures for working-class social change. Above, participants in the October 2019, Workers Writers School workshop: Christine Yvette Lewis, Lizeth Palencia, Doreen McGill, Faith Harper, Lorraine Garnett, Alando McIntyre, Alfreda Small, and Nimfa Despabiladeras.

Blending words and sounds, bringing to the airwaves live performances as well as field and studio recordings by writers the host has crossed paths with over the course of a quarter century.
