Hi, I’m Traci Brimhall, Poet Laureate of Kansas and here today to talk about the book Eat Your Words: A Kansas Poetry Cookbook. It’s a collection of recipes and poems I helped edit that collected 20 recipes from 20 chefs across the great state of Kansas.

Growing edibles like garlic and shallots in your garden can be rewarding in many ways...but it's important to know how to grow these finicky plants, and to obtain your bulbs for planting from a specialized garden center, to help avoid contaminants like fungal diseases and nematodes...this week, we'll talk about how to get the most viable crop possible!

Greetings from Goodwell, Oklahoma! I’m Marjory Hall with a BookByte for our new 2025 Fall Read. In an earlier Book Byte, I mentioned how much avid readers appreciate an author’s fresh approach to a novel.

With the frosts due soon, it may be time to look at harvesting some of your crops soon, even if they don't seem full-grown. Failing to do so might mean losing out on some of your garden's bounty, so don't let the idea of perfection keep you from enjoying some baby vegetables, rather than none at all! This week, we'll talk about how to selectively time your harvesting, to let your plants grow as much as possible before they're at risk.

Most of us think of the end of growing season as a time to clear the garden, clean the tools, and prep things for spring. But the brave among us will let things go for a while longer...just long enough to get some overnight frost, just before they harvest the last vegetables from their growing space. This lets nature work its magic, and leads to richer and more flavorful crops...not with all garden plants, but with a few veggies that we'll discuss in this week's show!

Hello Radio Readers. I’m Julie A. Sellers for the HPPR Radio Readers Book Club. Late Migrations: A Natural History of Love and Loss by Margaret Renkl is a memoir that is part meditation on life, death, and grief, and part collection of vignettes about the author’s family and home.

For High Plains Public Radio Readers Book Club, I’m Shane Timson from Colby, Kansas. Today I’m talking about the book Late Migrations: A Brief History of Love and Loss by Margaret Renkl. No doubt this fall reading season has been very difficult as we have dealt with grief in different ways.

The poem opens with a series of three character-driven vignettes in each of the first three stanzas. The abbreviated stories of loss, each character traumatized, each surviving but still grieving, carrying haunted memories.
