Poetry on Tape 25.4.25

Thanks everyone for joining live (and watching now!). What did you miss today? We started out playing Madame Psychosis meets Marshall McLuhan from the latest issue of bitpunk.fm.

Then we read from Through the Vanishing Point: Space in Poetry and Painting by Marshall McLuhan and Harley Parker.

And quite a range of substack poetry this week starting with

Abby Schleifer

“Bluebird”

I really liked her use of other senses in this poem, which tied nicely with the McLuhan piece we read at the beginning.

Clicking of the Ants

And

Ray Diess

has some fire lines, “God Pop” and such. But yes, the ants, despite us stepping on them, I think they will be fine when the humans are gone.

We then had a nicer caller share a poem found from fifth graders. What blew me away was it was how in tune with nature these elementary kids were! Thanks for calling!

Continuing with

Benno

A seed is a promise

He also had some nice collaborative pieces this week with a few people, so go catchup on those.

Then we read

Allison Taylor Conway

:

The chat got a bit lively on this one, which was fun. :)

And lastly,

Bence Ádók

and

Rasmus Rosenkrantz

‘s collaborative ghazal:

Cinema Ghazals - featuring Bence Ádók - Twilight (Szürkület)

I continued to be impressed by this collaborate form and it was nice to see Bence’s twist to the ghazal here.

Thank you
