Radio Poets 2017: Aurora Nguyen

Aurora Nguyen

"In a Paradise"

Aurora Nguyen, Garfield Elementary

The blue in the ocean are my shoes

My Nike sign is like the green leaves on Civic Center soccer field

My glasses are like the color of the hammock, peachy pink and white

My nails are like the strings on the hammock, red, white and like the sunset

My hair is like the brown tree branches

The sand glows bright as my palms

I’m ready to dive into my paradise

Airs on KALW Tuesday, April 25th at 4:18pm & 5:59pm.

Programs launched at KALW during Matt’s tenure as GM include the award-winning local newsmagazine Crosscurrents, the design podcast 99% Invisible, and the Spanish-language narrative journalism program Radio Ambulante. He helped create the station’s Audio Academy, a year-long program aimed at developing new talents in public radio, and led the first broad-based strategic planning process in the station’s history.
