David is a magic the gathering player and a poet, and Jono is a singer/songwriter. All of us look at the term quite differently, because of our backgrounds but also because Jono is a bit younger than David and I.

    Louisiana Anthology Podcast

    632. Chip Lococo discusses his novel, The Devil's Jazz:
A Gripping Historical Thriller of Murder, Music, and Madness in 1918 New Orleans, about the infamous Axman of New Orleans. “They have never caught me and they never will... I have been, am, and will be the worst spirit that ever existed either in fact or the realm of fancy.” — The Axman       In the haunted heart of New Orleans, as World War I draws to a close, a sinister presence stalks the streets. A brutal serial killer—known only as the Axman—emerges from the shadows, targeting the city's Sicilian immigrant community with chilling precision. Inspired by true events, The Devil's Jazz resurrects one of America's most disturbing unsolved murder cases in a city steeped in music, mystery, and myth. Retired detective Giancarlo Rabito is pulled back into the darkness when the killings begin. The press fans hysteria. The public panics. And when the Axman sends a blood-chilling letter to the newspapers — promising death unless every home plays jazz on a chosen night — the city answers with a desperate and defiant flood of music.       Chip LoCoco was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, where he attended Jesuit High School and received his BA degree from Loyola University in 1990 with a concentration in History. He then went on to receive his JD degree from Loyola University Law School in 1993 and joined his father's firm, Many & LoCoco, after being sworn in as an attorney in October, 1993.

    Have you ever felt like your artwork knows more than you do? In this intimate, unplanned conversation recorded during a Montana retreat, Ty and Nathan explore the vital yet often overlooked practice of soul care for artists.Surrounded by the sounds of birdsong and nestled in Montana's rolling landscape, we dive into what happens when artists intentionally step away from their studios. More than just a luxury, these moments of pause—whether through travel, immersion in nature, or simple daily rituals—fundamentally transform our creative practice and the work that emerges from it.Drawing wisdom from Mary Oliver's poetry collection "Redbird" and Jack Whitten's studio journals, we unpack what it means to create "not for the sake of winning, but for sheer delight and gratitude." Oliver's observation that "it is a serious thing just to be alive on this fresh morning in this broken world" reminds us that pausing to notice our surroundings isn't just pleasant—it's essential to developing our artistic voice.We share our personal soul care practices, from morning reading rituals and mindful walks to the transformative power of travel and trying uncomfortable new experiences. The conversation explores how these moments help us break free from achievement-oriented creation and return to our work with renewed vision. As Whitten noted, "Nature does not think"—it simply exists. There's profound creative wisdom in learning to sometimes just be rather than constantly do.Whether you're struggling with burnout or simply seeking to deepen your creative practice, this conversation offers practical inspiration for incorporating soul care into your artistic journey. Take a moment with us, slow down, and discover how the small pauses might actually hold everything you need.Send us a message - we would love to hear from you!Make sure to follow us on Instagram here:@justmakeartpodcast @tynathanclark @nathanterborg

In this episode, Jack shares how a personal journaling practice turned into a 30-day poetry challenge—and eventually, a self-published book. We talk about the healing power of creativity, the emotional weight of the empty nest, and why taking imperfect action can change everything.   We talk about creativity, healing, identity shifts, and the power of following an instinct even when you don't know where it's leading.

    Join me and Sherrie Love as we read her poem, Descension and then have a conversation about the slow, brave work of reclaiming ourselves—of getting to know who we are again after life has scattered the pieces. We talk about the struggle, the beauty, and the quiet joy of becoming whole. And we draw wisdom from the sun—how it simply shines, without apology, without hesitation, no matter who is beneath its light. What would it mean for us to live like that? Descension Something is shifting. It has felt heavy and loud in my soul for a while. It twists in my stomach And lurches upward Squeezing my heart Tighter and tighter until I can't breathe Then it weaves its slimy black sludge claws Into my mind And plants seeds of doubt, fear, hopelessness Until they bloom Oozing the thick tar of my descension What does it mean? Where does it come from? I thought I was through I thought I was in the clear Didn't I already learn this lesson? And I notice the giant black infection Of fear expanding, enveloping me In its unrelenting grip What am I afraid of? Fear, what are you trying to show me? I move toward it now I embrace it back Shining every shred of light I have left Toward it Begging it to tell me what it wants And I see Tiny pricks of light Piercing through the thick, black darkness I left my light, my energy, my joy, behind Somewhere on the trail Like a lost glove Being blown away by the wind Left to dance its way through the wilderness Is it even still mine? Did someone find it? Did they pick up And turn it over, curious who it belonged to Did they take it home and try it on? Did something about my essence affect them in some way? I miss it Why do I keep doing that? Giving away my light? When all I'm trying to do Is shine on those I love On those who need a light in their own darkness Because I know how deeply painful and dark it is To wander this world in the dark Alone Maybe I overwhelm and blind with my light because I feel so desperate to connect Yet somehow, my light is too bright, too glaring, too intense Even for those who, at first, thought they liked basking in the glory And I remember that even the Sun, who shines unapologetically, gets too hot sometimes And may unintentionally burn you But she keeps on shining And we love her for it And we welcome the clouds and the rain and night and the winter And when they come, we miss the Sun And long for her return For the pink spring sunrise For the glowing summer sunsets And bright autumn mornings I wonder if the Sun misses me too when the night comes I wonder if she feels lonely and scared too Maybe she sees me As much as I see her I'd love to hear what you have to say about the episode including thoughts on the poetry and the topics that were discussed.

She's absorbed the rhythms of Shakespeare's writing over decades of her award-winning work on the stage. For 'The Verb' Harriet performs new poems she's written for her book 'She Speaks', an anthology which gives the women characters from Shakespeare's plays a chance to explore their experiences and their relationships with each other.Jason Singh is a sound artist, and nature beatboxer. He shares an evocative soundscape recorded at a Shinto Ceremony in Japan for a scientist who's been called 'The Mother of the Sea'. Leigh-born biologist Kathleen Mary Drew Baker made important discoveries about a type of seaweed, discoveries that have had a huge impact on Japanese Nori production. You can hear Jason's whole piece on 6th July at Pennington Flash in Leigh ( Greater Manchester). https://www.visitmanchester.com/event/flashes-festival-of-nature-2025/99390101/Poet Gillian Allnutt was awarded the Queen's Gold Medal in 2016 - and her new collection 'Lode' has been celebrated for its 'indelible images' . Gillian reads a poem about meeting the Queen, in which the word 'plimsoll' plays a surprising part, and another poem in which she invents the word 'ditheridoo'.Icelandic writer Andri Snaer Magnason, and Canadian-Nepali writer Manjushree Thapa have both written inscriptions to mark the dying of a glacier called Yala in the Hindu Kush Himalaya.

Everyone is welcome in her circles. This community-held writing practice was designed for anyone willing to pick up a pen. A recent PBS documentary highlights River Writing as a method of repair for what is broken in our relationship with the natural world. Her debut poetry collection, prayers not meant for heaven, was published by Toad Hall Editions in the summer of 2021. Nan's story lake woman leaving, a modern myth, was awarded the 2022 Alfred Lambourne prize by Friends of Great Salt Lake. As the poet-in-residence on Antelope Island, Nan led day-and-night vigils on behalf of the imperiled Great Salt Lake throughout the 2022 and 2023 Utah State legislative sessions. During her weeks on the receding lake shore, she assembled the praise poem called irreplaceable, ;a collective love letter containing over 400 individual voices from lake-facing citizens. The epic ode is a community cry for this essential ecosystem's full restoration. In the May 2023 special issue of Desert Report, Nan offers a reflection on relationship with the lake from the perspective of two winter vigils. Nan continues to advocate for Rights of Nature, legally defensible personal rights for ecosystems, including Great Salt Lake. Her work gives voice to their inherent right to live, flourish, and evolve in natural way. The words emerge from a devotion to repairing the breach between humans and the rest of the sentient, singing earth.

    631. Part 2 of Thomas Patterson joining us to discuss his new book, American Populist: Huey Long of Louisiana. "Thomas E. Patterson's monumental biography of Huey Long is a profound reevaluation of his life and legacy, recognizing him as an inspirational progressive thinker, populist hero, and radical influence on the New Deal. Long transformed the politics of Louisiana by standing for the interests of citizens whom state officials had historically ignored. He eased suffrage restrictions so that more people could vote, and voters endorsed his program of more robust government services and shifting the tax burden to those better able to pay. In the United States Senate,... he advocated loudly and ceaselessly for the redistribution of wealth, expanding public works, increasing the money supply, insuring bank deposits, paying old-age pensions and veterans' benefits, delivering a minimum income for families, and funding college and vocational education. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, along with other politicians and pundits, dismissed Long's proposals as nonsense put forth by a reckless demagogue in search of votes.... Despite several biographies, acclaimed novels, and historical studies in the years since Long's death, his reputation today is mostly caricature: a spellbinding speaker, a dictator, a populist firebrand who was unprincipled and corrupt. Using previously untapped personal papers of Long and his son Russell, other primary sources, recent scholarship, and his experience as a lawyer, Patterson provides a necessary corrective as he analyzes the contours of Long's career, deconstructs the elements of his success, undercuts several myths related to his time in office, and explains the circumstances that led to his ultimate downfall. The result is the most comprehensive, balanced, and analytical study of the Kingfish to date."

It's a meandering, thoughtful exchange—about art, life, and the things we're still trying to understand.

    Four Walks in Central Park with Aaron Poochigian In this episode of the Helping Families Be Happy podcast, host Christopher Robbins engages in a conversation with Aaron Poochigian, a poet and classicist, about his new book "Four Walks in Central Park." The book is notable for its unique genre, a poetic guidebook to Central Park, a renowned urban park in Manhattan. The conversation delves into the historical significance of Central Park, its planning and construction phases, as well as the park's evolution over time. Aaron also shares insights into the discipline of didactic poetry and how it can serve as an instructional yet engaging form of literature. Listeners can explore the intricacies of Central Park and its details through Aaron's poetic depiction, which aims to provide an immersive experience akin to experiencing the park itself. Episode Highlights 00:00:09: Introduction to the podcast and guest Aaron Poochigian, discussing family, love, relationships, and Aaron's credentials and upcoming book. 00:01:52: Aaron thanks for being on the show and notes the rainy weather in New York. 00:02:01: Conversation on being on different coasts and the benefits of technology for communication. 00:02:14: Aaron provides a brief history of Central Park, its origins, and important figures like Frederick Olmsted. 00:03:32: Details on the landscape design competition and the contributions of Olmsted and Calvert Vaux. 00:04:45: Discussion of Seneca Village and the transformation of the area for Central Park. 00:05:49: Exploration of the theme of artificial nature and the park's construction process. 00:06:42: Explanation of what constitutes a "landscaped park." 00:07:50: Details on the creation and design elements of Central Park, like the reservoirs and drainage systems. 00:08:28: Mention of the park's completion and opening, including the establishment of the zoo. 00:09:10: Conversation about Central Park's decline in the past and its revitalization in the 1980s. 00:10:11: Historical context on the park's periods of decline and renovation. 00:10:52: The role of the Central Park Conservancy in park maintenance. 00:11:56: Introduction to Aaron's book and the concept of a guidebook in poetic form. 00:12:56: Aaron explains why he chose poetry as the medium for his guidebook. 00:13:41: Discussion of how poetry helps avoid rambling and focuses on sensory details. 00:14:25: Inspiration behind creating a poetic guidebook to Central Park. 00:15:27: Connection to ancient didactic poetry and the revival of the genre. 00:17:04: The importance of new poetry genres and Aaron's contribution. 00:17:54: Linking Japanese forest bathing with Central Park and Aaron's book. 00:19:39: Aaron's favorite place in Central Park—The Delacorte Theater. 00:20:27: Discussion of Central Park's ongoing construction and renovation projects. 00:21:26: Conclusion of the episode with information on where to find Aaron and purchase the book. Key Takeaways Didactic poetry offers a unique method of storytelling and education, merging immersive sensory details with instructional content. Central Park's creation was a monumental task involving transformation of undesirable land into a vibrant urban oasis. The park's history of decline and rejuvenation underscores the importance of conservation efforts and community involvement. Mindfulness and intentionality, akin to Shinrin-yoku, can offer substantial wellness benefits and enhance one's experiential quality of life. Tweetable Quotes "In the poetry, where I hope the poem will be immersive, that's where Shin Rin Yoku comes in." – Aaron Poochigian. "Poetry serves its purpose well, in the book for a number of reasons...I wanted the book to be an immersive experience." – Aaron Poochigian. "Central Park is like a giant birthday cake where nature is the icing on it." – Aaron Poochigian. "Didactic poetry serves to teach but in a beautiful, enduring way." – Aaron Poochigian.

Our hosts and guests employed the attention of The Slowdown to explore the daily noise we interact with -- how sharing poetry, stories, and reflection can shape our experience of the everyday. How do we collage our own pasts and our presents, alongside the many voices that we engage with? This event was produced in collaboration with The Porch and was recorded live at Analog at Hutton Hotel.

    LOVE IS FEARLESS

    What if prayer wasn't about getting the words right, but about being real? In this tender and honest conversation, Janet and Doug sit down with poet and author Tanner Olson, whose new children's book All the Things I Say to God is helping families make prayer a natural part of everyday life. They explore Tanner and his wife's journey through infertility and adoption, the power of surrender, and what it means to live a creative life anchored in faith, family, and honest conversations with God. You're in the Right Place If… You want to raise kids who feel safe enough to talk to God about anything. You're in a season of waiting, wondering where God is in the silence. You've ever wrestled with not being in control, but longed to feel secure anyway. Highlights from the Conversation: Prayer as Presence – How Tanner's book models that sitting quietly with God is just as valid as speaking out loud. Love in the Waiting – Their shared experience of waiting for children—and discovering that grief and joy often share the same space. Peace Over Performance – Why surrender isn't giving up, but choosing safety in God instead of control. Creative Callings – Tanner's story of becoming a poet, the faith of his parents, and the courage it takes to follow a different path. Key Takeaways: Children don't need perfect prayers. They need permission to speak to God like they speak to someone who loves them. Surrendered doesn't mean powerless. It means safe and secure in the hands of a faithful God—even when you don't have all the answers. Waiting can be formative. Love, art, and spiritual maturity often grow in the in-between spaces. We are receivers first. God is the initiator, and our job is to remain open—to receive, respond, and create from love.

    Today's poem is from "The Crystal Text" by Clark Coolidge. The Slowdown is currently taking a break. We'll be back soon with new episodes from a new host. This week, we're revisiting some favorites from Major Jackson's time as host. Today's episode was originally released on July 2 2024. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes… “Poetry negotiates that space between our inner life and the relational world we share with others. Magically, we make plain what we feel and observe to convey what some might call a soul. I often describe poetry as a mirror that reflects back our interiority. But today's poem wonders if such perspective is even possible, given that we barely know who we are — making the enterprise of connection through art deeply indeterminate and delicate.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

What began with the sudden loss of her mother at age 21 has now expanded to include the ongoing grief of caregiving for her father, who is living with dementia and Alzheimer's disease.  Camila discusses the unique challenges of long-distance caregiving, the differences between sudden loss and gradual decline, and how these two types of grief intersect in her life. She also discusses navigating major life milestones—including getting married during the pandemic—without her mother's presence.  We Discuss: The difference between sudden loss and the "slow grief" of watching a parent decline  How grief has shifted in the 15+ years since her mother's unexpected death Losing her father as the co-archivist of her mother's life and their family history Managing long-distance caregiving The failures of the elder care system in the U.S. The role of chosen family and support Wedding planning and the question of how to honor her mother's memory  The complexity of being a queer person in traditionally heteronormative grief support spaces  Feeling like she no longer has parents, even though her father is still alive  The therapeutic value of pets  Finding moments of connection and joy with her father despite his condition  Using poetry as a processing tool for grief  About the Guest:  Camila is a poet who has published three books of poetry:  The Progression of Grief (about losing her mother)  New Waters (about falling in love and healthy relationships)  The Longevity of Grief (about caring for her father and how different types of grief intersect) This episode is the third in our 2025 three-part series highlighting the voices of communities who have historically been underrepresented in the grief world.
