Jaws of Justice Radio
It is the intention of Jaws of Justice Radio to investigate how to achieve justice in America, this includes issues of economic injustice, political injustice and the criminal justice system. We want to put a human face on those caught in the grasp of injustice and those that are part of an unjust system. We strive to dispel the misconceptions created by the news and entertainment industry, politicians and our educational system.
On our program for September 4th, host Terri Wilke speaks with Author and Lecturer Brian Daldorph. In June of 2018, Jaws of Justice broadcast an amazing interview of Brian Daldorph by local published poet Arlin Buyert. We will begin our hour with a replay of Arlin Buyert’s interview.
At the time, Brian Daldorph was instructing creative writing students at University of Kansas and also founded and held classes for inmates in the Douglas County Jail. Brian Daldorph is the Editor of Coal City Review which is published by Coal City Press in Lawrence, Kansas. Coal City Review welcomes submissions of literary poetry and short stories throughout the year. Thanks to Brian’s dedication and the support of the Neptune Foundation, Coal City Press continues to publish and introduce more literary voices each year. Since 1990, Coal City has published 20 annual reviews and 7 collections of poetry. Staying true to Brian’s original intent, the review and press publish both new and experienced poets and writers. Contributors are tall, short, male, female, American, foreign, rich, poor, free, imprisoned, discontented, contented, rural, urban, suburban, liberal and not-so-liberal. The traits they share are curiosity, compassion, insight and fierce commitment to good writing.
Brian has added additional opportunities for creative writing instruction. Now, Brian also proposes to instruct creative writing at the DARE Center in Lawrence Kansas. The DARE Center offers a place of refuge for people experiencing homelessness or who are at risk of homelessness. The Center provides basic necessities, such as a shower, washer and dryer, coffee, and an inviting place to come in and get off of the street. The DARE Center is completely run by unpaid volunteers. The Center actively encourages discussion on the issue of homelessness.

We will hear from Brian Daldorph during the second part of our hour, live using Zoom.
On Jaws of Justice, we examine how to find justice in our society. Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.
