A Flathead Valley Community College professor’s poetry is scheduled to hit national airwaves Monday morning.

Garrison Keillor, host of National Public Radio’s “The Writer’s Almanac,” will read poetry by FVCC English professor Lowell Jaeger around 9 a.m. Monday.

The poem, “After Second Shift” is from Jaeger’s most recent book, “Or Maybe I Drift Alone.”

Jaeger is founding editor of Many Voices Press and recently edited “New Poets of the American West,” an anthology of poets from Western states.

“The Writer’s Almanac” airs every weekday at 9 a.m. and is broadcast via Montana Public Radio on KUKL Kalispell 90.1 FM and KUFM Missoula 89.1 FM.

This is the second time Keillor has chosen one of Jaeger’s poems to read on “The Writer’s Almanac.” In 2010, Keillor read “Confessions” from Jaeger’s fourth book of poetry.

Jaeger has taught English and creative writing since 1983 at FVCC, where he also serves as Humanities Division chair.

He is a graduate of the Iowa Writer’s Workshop, winner of the Grolier Poetry Peace Prize and recipient of fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Montana Arts Council.

Jaeger was awarded the Montana Governor’s Humanities Award for his work in promoting civil civic discourse. He is the author of seven collections of poems, including “Or Maybe I Drift Off Alone” (Shabda Press 2016). Jaeger’s most recent book is available for purchase in local bookstores, including the FVCC campus bookstore, and online at major book retailer sites.
