Jay Allison’s award-winning The Life Stories Collection features first-person portraits and essays by and about ordinary citizens from small towns, rural areas, and urban neighborhoods usually overlooked by mainstream reporting.
These timeless stories about the ways we live our lives, the things we believe in, where we find our poetry –– value the heart in the human voice, the evocative nature of sound, the importance of subtext, and the art of storytelling. Their presence opened doors to fresh perspectives on making work for radio, and represent some of the first “radio diaries.”
