YWA Mixed Voices CD Anthology 1996-2006


This project was supported in part by a grant from the Oregon Cultural Trust, investing in Oregon's arts, humanities and heritage.

YWA's Mixed Voices CD is a compilation of Lane County kids reading their own writing for radio. Currently, and for the past decade YWA has invited Lane County school-aged authors to pen topical writing for broadcasting during Northwest Passage 89.7 FM, KLCC's 4:00 PM news program. Mixed Voices is aired on the last Monday of each month. Thanks to a grant from the Oregon Cultural Trust, YWA has gleaned from an archival trove of Mixed Voices programs to give you this spoken word CD anthology of Lane County young people.

Who is the Mixed Voices CD Anthology for? Everyone. Enjoy poetry or short literary works from a range of ages and backgrounds. Notice how one topic brings forth diverse responses. Listen to each voice, vulnerable and clear-- the breath of the author in and out as the sound of words sweep, burst, growl, or saunter into the air. Teachers and young writers: find a topic on the CD that fits what you are thinking about, use it to inspire creative writing, lively discussion or a research project exploring issues raised by the work.

Interested in ordering copies of YWA's Mixed Voices Anthology CD? Each CD is $6.

History: In 1996 Young Writers Association proposed the MIXED VOICES program to KLCC public radio station, Eugene, Oregon, as a program for short poems and prose pieces spoken aloud to showcase authors of all ages. KLCC’s program director Don Hein, and chief newsman, Tripp Sommers liked the way Mixed Voices matched their idea of community radio and generously trained YWA board members to produce the show. Since January 1997 Mixed Voices has aired monthly during KLCC’s news program, NORTHWEST PASSAGE. Tune your radio to 89.7 on the last Monday of the month, at 4PM (during NORTHWEST PASSAGE) to hear MIXED VOICES.
