Album Notes

This is a collection of Molly's essays for the News Hour of community radio station KVMR-FM Nevada City, CA. Many more can be read and heard on her website: www.mollyfisk.com, and heard live on Thursday evenings at 6:55 p.m. Pacific time, streaming on www.kvmr.org. (Or, if you're driving through Northern California, at 89.5 FM in the valley and foothills, and at 105.1 FM in the High Sierra. Her sister even gets them sometimes as far north as Redding, as she's driving to Oregon.) To be added to Molly's e-list to receive essays as they are written (text only), please contact her at molly@mollyfisk.com. Molly is a National Endowment for the Arts fellow, has won grants in poetry from the California Arts Council and the Marin Arts Council, and most recently the 2007 Dogwood Prize. Her collection Listening to Winter is part of the California Poetry Series. Utah Phillips says: "Molly's essays render the common uncommon. I think that what she really talks about is the art of noticing. Beautiful language, beautifully spoken." John Updike says: "Your voice is made for radio—crisp and decided yet relaxed and just close enough, somehow — and the pieces all are impeccably shaped and written."
