Sounds of words. Sounds of the time. Sounds of spaces. A sort of DJ set if you will. Almost all of these works were created in or around this unique time of the pandemic. They all contain truth and hope in a paradoxical communion with grief, despair, and longing. These spoken confessions of prose contain a healing quality in and of themselves to be shared with others. You, artists longing to reimagine. Featuring works by spivey k, Courtney Ariel, Josephine Parker, Joel Markus Antson, & Dana Jo Cooley. With Courtney Ariel as host & introductions by DJSEE Music & Sound Design by Michael Knight We are Poiesis.
