Hello. This is John Rhodes with chapter 18 of my podcast novel: Little Bird Told Me. It is entitled: "Planning for More Evidence, Maria's Real Parents, and Marriage". Detectives are not usually philosophers but in this book they get to share the nitty-gritty truths of this hip dou and help confirm their sublime truths for them. I think that when facts are properly presented, most anybody will believe in them as if they were everyday fact. I think this is something that the left doesn't employ enough. They try to transcend reason and logic, when they can use reason and logic to prove hidden and unobvious truths. This is what I call spiritually practical. In this chapter the couple in the book will talk about picking and choosing who can help them to help them prove or disprove who their real parents are. Isn't it true that peace and love should be something that the whole family should share...not something that should be just fostered...as if it really only was something that was innate to rebellious waifs and Godhead? Of course there is also marriage in the plot, and I'll leave you to puzzle about that until you hear it. Again, let me remind you to consider buying my audio-novel, or text version; the audio version from www.audible.com , and the text version from www.authorhouse.com . Please consider it more of a donation at this point, seeing as how you only have four chapters left until the end. Also watch my Mystic Babylon poetry podcast/TV from http://mysticbabylon.podomatic.com , or watch it on a big screen TV on San Francisco Local Comcast Channel 29 and 76. It re-runs 10 to 15 times a month on those channels . It is there called: Open Mic Poetry. It usually says the month of the show, and the schedule is only good for two to four days at a time. All this stuff I do I do it for free. Let's hope it becomes a stab in the back to those traditional publishers who take control of their authors and box them into little niches, where they have little control over their books. Expect another poetry book from me this summer. It will be called Mystic Babylon. Sorry to go on and on. I'll just let you listen. Adios!

Hello! This is Mystic Babylon broadcasting from near Haight Street with the best of San Francisco poetry. Today we have some poetry from two other poets besides me. First I have some poetry from a poet who asked me a long time ago to record some of her works named Lenore Weiss. She gave me a disk of what she called cell-phone poetry and I extracted one small snippet from that recording. After that I have some poetry from a poet named David Alpaugh. He also runs a small press. David Alpaugh’s works have appeared in more than a hundred literary journals and anthologies. His first collection, Counterpoint, won a prize, and is published by Story Line Press. He has had chapbooks published by Coracle Books and Pudding House Publications. His new book HEAVY LIFTING has just been published by Alehouse Press. Order it direct from the poet for $15 postpaid: Small Poetry Press Distribution, P.O. Box 5342, Concord, CA 94524, or go to: http://www.alehousepress.com . He has his small press at: http://www.smallpoetrypress.com . May I remind you to read and buy our books. My poetry book is: Spirits of Bondage and Inherent Transcendence, and my new novel is called: Little Bird Told Me. My voice-over for that book is almost finished and as soon as I get it submitted to Audible.com in its full version, for sale, I will start posting it chapter by chapter over a whole year. David's picture and part of the cover from his new book is above. Remember, as Poor Richard’s Almanac said, “Money Doesn’t Grow On Trees”.

Note my tongue in cheek comment/pun at the end. I do respect the lives lost in war though, even though I am pacifist, but since all the poets in this podcast do feel the way we do feel, I feel, that I, as a creator of this podcast,shouldn't also, wear a piece of tape over my mouth. Peace to all humans, and if you can, believe in the abrieviation, BOB, (Buy Our Books). The book above is James Tracy's and the photo is Jeanne Lupton

This is Mystic Babylon's 3rd open mike poetry recording from San Francisco in the Haight. It is a mixed bag of poetry from the Bay Area this time. Some of it is from someone whose alias is Dr. Concrescence, who reads in the Fillmore district, known mainly for its music, and also I returned to Berkeley to get one poet from there named David Gollub. The web site associated with him is http://www.angelfire.com/poetry/wordbeat/ . I hope you enjoy this open mic poetry. It takes a lot of work to get it. I bought some new sound equipment so hopefully my sound will be improving once I tweak it. I, John R., posted the cover of my book above. It has 12 illustrated poems in it similar to the cover and is 8x11. The photo above is David Gollub.
