Poetry on Tape 27.6.25

We are back on the nice mic today. Intro and outro was a tape of the Sibling Society, read by Robert Bly himself.

We started by reading

Rea de Miranda

and her poem:

A Quest For Beauty

which I commented that I always feel this fire in much of poetry.

Then a poem by

Dave ♠️

and his:

Shut Tight

There is a nice weekly ritual he had with his kids and poetry and I think I might steal this idea!

Then

JP

had:

No Escape

and JP was also in the chat, so thank you for joining live!

I then read this poem by

X. P. Callahan

:

6.23.2024

I saw this interview with her a while back but I really like the punk spirit in this poem.

Lastly, his first poem on substack. Another American veteran — I’m honored to read the following by

Ben Korman

.

How to Say 'Hello' in American

And this one, fit very well with an experience I just had yesterday talking to someone about the military.
