Having made the rounds of several open mike venues as an observer, I've been playing around with reading. I did a cold read of an unfamiliar poem two weeks ago for Acie's new cd on the Calumet region of northern Indiana/south Chicago. I heard it today and Acie, a stern judge, calls "magical," making my own act a hard one to follow.
Some I like a lot, some so so. Some I will need to read aloud one hundred times, then read again another hundred or so, until I breathe them, until they are part of the air, and only then will they sound true to me. But this feels like a good start....
If there is something you especially like, or vice versa, tell me. No honest opinion is unwelcome.... (this is true)
You'll find these new mp3's here.

Cool page,..BUT for obvious reasons I'm more into READING than into LISTENING!! Nice everything else,..Miss pearlbambo! Nice talking to you again! I always enjoy my visits to your blog!!:D
So how similiar are Pashtu and Urdu to Persian?
You made my morning, especially in Urdu. I am not sure which poem you wanted me to look at again.
Oh, and I should add: the one about being kids I liked better as I heard it. Don't know if you made changes to what I'd read originally. I related to the images, having been born in 1950.
Liked these poems & photos. Our wetlands are so fragile, Happy New Year to you!
Good on you! I wish I could have been there!
