If a poem is not vocalized, is it a poem in the full measure?
If a meal is not consumed (perhaps, only photographed) has it lived up to it's full measure? If the picnic had gone uneaten?
smoked salmon w/roasted asparagus & honey mangoes & avocado
pita & tahini & hummus & tomatoes & carrots
roasted Brussels Sprouts
Persian cucumbers, radishes (unfortunately, the olives left on the counter)
Now, think of a publisher as one who rhapsodes? And perhaps, she cooks, too?

ReplyDeleteOn these shores thin ideas waver
and fall into disrepair
The waves of rowdy nightlife
seem to wash away regrets and scars
Your demeanor and pure rhapsody rise
and scatter the demented salt
But all along we knew he'd find you
and whisper foreign phrases again and again
I would be interested in reading your thoughts on a classic poetry performance initiative I created called Rhapsodize. The purpose is exactly that of answering your questions above. We have published eight audio project on the Internet Archive and our catalog page. Feel free to check it out and contact me at bomogo52@gmail.com.
