I have an interview with the Public Radio International (PRI) program To The Best Of Our Knowledge airing this week on public radio stations around the US, and available in streaming audio on the program's website: http://wpr.org/webcasting/ideas_audioarchives.cfm?Code=bok

Look for Show 12/02B. My interview is the last of the show, starting at 38:30 and finishing at 52:00. The program topic is "Transgender Identity." I talk with interviewer Jim Fleming about my collection Dangerous Space, and the segment includes a brief reading. It's a fascinating show with interesting guests -- I hope you'll give it a listen and let me know what you think of the interview.

I've also completely re-designed my website (www.kelleyeskridge.com). The site includes a blog that is interactive -- look on the sidebar for a link called "Start a conversation," which anyone can use to send a question or start a conversation. I hope you'll visit me there. All best ~ Kelley"
