Every other month, Ellen O'Donnell and Bronmin Shumway visit a poet's kitchen and force them to produce what are hopefully delectable meals. While the pots are on the stove (or the take-out is being delivered), Bronmin talks to the poet about his or her life, poetry, and goings on about town. Charming, meaningful, and often funny, Poet's Kitchen will air on this website throughout 2008.

Producer Extraordinaire

When not helping to make award-winning beer commercials from a high-rise in the loop, Ellen O'Donnell is a writer, producer and expert interviewer (just catch her in her local tavern for a demonstration). She has written for Newcity, Performink, IndieIN, and a few other underpaying magazines, and is happy to be behind the camera for Poet's Kitchen.
