Poetry: My Brother’s Guitar

This poem was prompted over at VerseLove with a “Something you should know …” prompt. The song was written for a friend’s daughter, and composed and performed by me.

Peace (and Song),

Poetry Audio Zine: Stanza Cannon

I submitted some poems with audio to the Studio Cannon poetry “audio zine” and got all three of my poems accepted for the latest issue. The poems, which I had written as part of my morning writing routine, were Crane, Guitar and Storm. The online journal focuses primarily on audio voice, so each poet narrates their verse. I like that focus on speaking and listening, and online audio.

Digital Poem: Composing Something

I am not sure how to even categorize this but I found this interesting prose/poem tool from an online journal called ‘the html review’ and went into the platform, wanting to try to figure out how I could use it. The tool — Prose/Play by Katherine Yang — allows you to layer words and then when you hover, the words appear. But the randomizer tool randomizes the selections across the piece, creating a rather interesting effect you click click click. There’s no save or share button at the site, so I did a screencast video to capture the motion.

On the left of the screen, you can see my “coded” words, and then right is the poem itself in motion.

Peace (Layered in Wonder),
