- Skönlitteratur
For the first time in its history, duPont Manual is releasing its very own poetry and fiction audio series. The Icebox is hosted by three of the school's emerging creative writers who will analyze professional works in their frozen, rigid forms and thaw them out into possibilities listeners can take with them. The hosts will also share their own works and engage in discussion with published authors and Manual faculty.
You can donate to the Icebox to help with audio update payments, subscription fees, and paying our staff. GO TO: https://anchor.fm/dupont-manual-creative-writing-club/support Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dupont-manual-creative/support
