We re-launch this literary and music variety “show within a show” hosted by longtime Eight Forty-Eight contributor Amy Krouse Rosenthal. In this episode, Hugh Musick brings us the story of an avant garde ice cream man, some advice for “Peeved in Palatine” from musical advice col-hum-nist Tony Rogers…Susan McLaughlin Karp cherishes her tethers…and a poem by Lucia Blinn.

Check out “WBP” Web exclusives, including another poem by Lucia and a short film by Steve Delahoyde, on the “Writers’ Block Party” Web site.
