~Co-presented with Bolinas Museum~ Kevin Opstedal, author of Dreaming as One: Poetry, Poets and Community in Bolinas, California, from 1967-1980, in conversation with editor, critic, and ethicist (and New School Host) Steve Heilig at the Bolinas Museum. Bolinas has a long and vibrant history as a haven for poets and writers seeking an alternative lifestyle and creative environment away from urban centers. In Dreaming as One, Kevin Opstedal tells the story of the unique poetic community that lived and worked in Bolinas from 1967 to 1980. Kevin's narrative, enriched with photos of and interviews with many of those featured, captures the spirit of rebellion, experimentation, and communal living that characterized their ethos, activism, and artistic commitment. The book features Joanne Kyger, Lew Welch, Philip Whalen, Robert Creeley, Tom Clark, Bill Berkson, and Robert Duncan, among many others. Kevin Opstedal Born and raised in Venice, California, and currently residing in Santa Cruz, Kevin Opstedal is a poet whose line leaves three decades of roadcuts across the entire imaginary West. His twenty-five books and chapbooks include two full-length collections, Like Rain (Angry Dog Press, 1999) and California Redemption Value (UNO Press, 2011). Blue Books Press, one of many of his “sub-radar” editorships, belongs in the same breath as the great California poetry houses (Auerhahn, Big Sky, Oyez...) that his own poems seem to conjure like airbrushed flames on a murdered-out junker carrying Ed Dorn, Joanne Kyger, Ted Berrigan, and some wide-eyed poetry neophyte to a latenite card game in Bolinas. “His poems,” writes Lewis MacAdams, “are hard-nosed without being hard-hearted.” As identity and ideas duke it out in the back-alley of academia, Opstedal surfs an oil slick off Malibu into the apocalypse of style. Host Steve Heilig Steve Heilig is an editor, epidemiologist, ethicist, environmentalist, educator, and ethnomusicologist trained at five University of California campuses. He is co-editor of the Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics and of San Francisco Marin Medicine at the medical society he has long been part of. A former volunteer and director of the Zen Hospice Project, AIDS Foundation, and Planned Parenthood, he has helped improve laws and practices in reproductive and end-of-life care, drug policy, and environmental health. He is a longtime book critic and music journalist and emcee of the Sierra Nevada World Music Festival. He's been part of Commonweal for 30 years now.

Esta semana, dedicamos la sesión de Rebelión Sónica, a la importante banda estadounidense de avant-pop Mercury Rev, con música de su nuevo álbum “Born Horses” y del celebrado “Deserter's Songs” de 1998. “Born Horses” fue lanzado el 06 de septiembre por el sello Bella Union y es primer LP del grupo con canciones inéditas desde “The Light in You” de 2015, pues su anterior trabajo “Bobbie Gentry's The Delta Sweete Revisited”, es de covers de la legendaria cantante estadounidense. El miembro original Jonathan Donohue dijo sobre el álbum: “Desde nuestro comienzo a mediados de los 80 con David Baker hasta la grabación de “Born Horses” con los nuevos miembros permanentes, el pianista nativo de Woodstock Jesse Chandler y la tecladista austríaca Marion Genser, hemos celebrado la confianza tácita en la "estatua que ya está dentro del mármol". No hicimos “Born Horses” arrojando arcilla sobre arcilla, sino que permitimos que el tiempo revelara lo que siempre estuvo ahí”. Por su parte, el guitarrista Grasshopper y también fundador, explicó: “Cuando Jonathan y yo nos conocimos por primera vez, algo que nos unió fue “Blade Runner”, tanto la película de Ridley Scott como la banda sonora de Vangelis: esa sensación del pasado y el futuro, el ambiente inquietante del cine negro y el romance del futuro". En el Bandcamp del grupo se explica que “el título del álbum, que lleva el nombre de la majestuosa y ondulante sexta canción 'Born Horses', fue elegido porque sus palabras resuenan a lo largo de todo el disco, abarcando la idea de vuelo ("Soñé que nacíamos caballos esperando alas") y la frase "Tú y yo” que aparece en diferentes momentos del álbum. Éste no es el concepto de dos personas separadas, sino que de dos partes de uno mismo”. El texto agrega que “más inspiración la proporcionaron los espíritus del arte minimalista Tony Conrad y del poeta Robert Creeley, acólitos del pensamiento y la acción progresistas que enseñaron en la Universidad de Buffalo, la ciudad donde se formó la banda. Entre otras credenciales, Conrad fue miembro del Dream Syndicate de LaMonte Young junto con John Cale antes de formar The Velvet Underground. Creeley fue uno de los poetas estadounidenses más importantes e influyentes del siglo XX, asociado a Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg y los poetas de Black Mountain”. Al final del programa, viajamos al pasado en la historia de Mercury Rev, para escucharlos con material del elogiado álbum de 1998, “Deserter's Songs”. Rebelión Sónica se transmite por radio Rockaxis los jueves a las 10 y 22 horas, con la conducción y curatoría de Héctor Aravena.
Rick Lupert zooms into The Hive. We read Robert Creeley's poem “I Know a Man,” and shamelessly display our ignorance about the great Robert Creeley, who did indeed, sometimes wear an eyepatch, and who was a powerful and engaging reader. Rick Lupert reads some fruit poems from his current book, I Am Not Writing a Book of Poems in Hawaii, inspired by his vacation with his family to Hawaii. Rick Lupert has been involved in the Los Angeles poetry community since 1990. He is the recipient of the 2014 Beyond Baroque Distinguished Service Award for service to the Los Angeles poetry community. His poetry has appeared in numerous magazines and literary journals, including The Los Angeles Times, Rattle, Chiron Review, and others. He edited the anthologies A Poet's Siddur Ekphrastia Gone Wild, The Night Goes On All Night – Noir-Inspired Poetry and, A Poet's Haggadah: Passover through the Eyes of Poets, and is the author of 27 books, including: Paris: It's The Cheese, I Am My Own Orange County, Mowing Fargo, I'm a Jew. Are You?, Stolen Mummies, I'd Like to Bake Your Goods, A Man With No Teeth Serves Us Breakfast, We Put Things in Our Mouths, Sinzibuckwud!, Death of a Mauve Bat (Ain't Got No Press), and more. He also writes the Jewish poetry blog From The Lupertverse for the Los Angeles Jewish Journal. Rick created and maintains the Poetry Super Highway, an online resource and publication for poets. He lives in Newhall, California with his wife Addie, son Jude, and 3 cats.
In s3e33, Platemark podcast host Ann Shafer talks with Ruth Lingen, printer and owner of Line Press Limited, located in the Dumbo neighborhood of Brooklyn. Line Press Limited does just about everything except screenprinting. Ruth is a jack-of-all-trades, and loves book arts the most, from papermaking to typesetting to printing and binding. After studying with the legendary Walter Hamady, Ruth got her start in New York with Joe Wilfer in the very early days of Pace Prints. She printed for many artists while at Pace, including Chuck Close and Jim Dine (for whom she still prints every summer in Walla Walla). Ruth worked closely with Bill Hall and Julia D'Amario at Pace, both of whom are previous guests on Platemark: Bill is featured in s3e6 and Julia appears in s3e15. Ruth has collaborated with more than 50 of the world's greatest artists—on prints (some for Pace editions, some on her own) and very special limited edition artist books. In addition to Dine and Close, she has collborated on editions with such art-world luminaries as Robert Ryman, Mary Heilmann, Kiki Smith, Claes Oldenberg, Bob Holman, Robert Creeley, Jessica Stockholder, Jeremy Sigler, Donald Traever, Al Held, and John Chamberlain. Lingen's work can be found in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Getty, and the Brooklyn Museum, as well as in more than 20 libraries, from the New York Public Library to the Harvard University Library.

The Pool By Robert Creeley
Though most people spend countless hours doing financial planning for retirement, how many people do emotional planning? Retirement is a huge transition, and it's essential to think about how much money you'll have and how you will create the kind of life you want. Whether you are about to retire, newly retired, or have been retired for a long time, it's never too late to talk openly about how you feel and the difficulties and joys of retirement.In this episode, you will discover the importance of articulating anxieties about retirement, including:Making the DecisionFears of Isolation and Losing a CommunityFears of Losing Your IdentityTrusting YourselfFears of Getting SickCalming exercisesMaintaining a healthy and fulfilling retirementAbout Louise Nayer:Louise Nayer grew up in New York City, received a B.A. in Comparative Literature from the University of Wisconsin and later a Master of Arts in Humanities from SUNY Buffalo, where she studied with poets Robert Creeley and John Logan.

El plan es el cuerpo. Hay a cada momento un diseño. Hay a cada momento algo para todos. El plan es el cuerpo. La mente está en la cabeza. Es un momento en el tiempo, un instante, un segundo. El ritmo de uno, y uno, y uno, y uno. El dos, el tres. El plan está en el cuerpo. Retenelo un instante en la mente: retenelo. Lo que se dijo lo dijiste vos. Las dos, las tres, veces en el cuerpo, manos, pies, vos te acordás: yo, yo me acuerdo, yo lo digo, lo digo. El plan es el cuerpo. Veces que no quisiste, veces que no se te ocurre que puedas querer, vos. Yo, yo, acordate, que yo acá, yo quiere, yo está pensando en vos. El plan es el cuerpo. El plan es el cuerpo.

In our first podcast our exiting Conference director, Alan Golding, talks with our in-coming director, Matthew Biberman, offering advice along with cherished memories of several major American poets and scholars including Frank Bidart, Robert Creeley, Clayton Eshleman, Susan Howe, W. S. Merwin, Harryette Mullen, Marjorie Perloff, and Nathaniel Mackey.
Adam O. Davis selects and shares poems that engage with journeys—across time, through mystery, into the past, or to shape a future. He introduces Nathaniel Mackey meditating on eternal questions (“Glenn on Monk's Mountain”), Maurya Simon reminding us that the dead surround and sustain us (“El Día de los Muertos”), and Robert Creeley poignantly speaking across time (“I Know a Man”). Davis closes by reading his poem “Interstate Highway System,” his own plea for living sparked by a 2015 road trip across America.You can find the full recordings of Nathaniel Mackey, Maurya Simon, and Robert Creeley reading for the Poetry Center on Voca:Nathaniel Mackey with jazz pianist Marilyn Crispell (2013)Maurya Simon (2019)Robert Creeley (1963)Check out Davis's Index of Haunted Houses Hotline by calling 619-329-5757.
Bolinas, writes English Professor Lytle Shaw, is “the only instance I could think of where a town was essentially governed by poets.” Shaw's thoughts are part of a new anniversary edition of “On the Mesa: An Anthology of Bolinas Writing” originally published in 1971, featuring the work of a remarkable group of poets living in or near Bolinas in the late 60s and 70s, including Diane Di Prima, Phillip Whalen, Robert Creeley, JoAnne Kyger, Anne Waldman and other icons of the period. We'll talk about the Bolinas scene, the new edition of the anthology and capturing Bolinas counterculture through its poetry.
Kate Cumiskey discovered she was a poet whilst in high school. In fact, it was her high school boyfriend who suggested she start writing things down because she saw the world in such poetical ways.She attended a class by Robert Creeley and that was when her writing life really took off. But it wasn't until about seven years ago she started writing fiction and has just had her first manuscript accepted by finishing line press. "gruelling work"This is how she describes writing poetry for her. The frame of the poem comes to her quickly, but it can take up to seven years to refine the piece.She says she learns about her work from the comments of others, and they have noticed her themes include Florida, the space programme, man's relationship to nature. We talk about why some people are very fearful of poetry and are reluctant to try it. She feels that this is because many think they have to examine and understand poetry, rather than simply experience it. We talk about "found" poems and what a straightforward way they are into writing poetry.A piece of advice she has for new poets is to describe and write about the external, rather than the internal. And she gives a great tip and writing prompt on how to do this.Kate herself doesn't write rhyming poetry in its traditional form, but she has a lot of internal rhyme in her poem. We talk about how she has struggled to know the best way to end a line. To overcome this problem, Kate uses sculpture to navigate the endings.Sculpture enables her to see the poem as a physical object and so seeing its form becomes much easier and she sees where the line ends and the next one begins.Cumiskey has worked with several small presses and she kindly shares her experiences, as well as how to find a small press to work with. She also offers some caution, encouraging you to understand your author rights, that the poems are your intellectual property and to be careful what you sign.Kate recommends Submittable as a wonderful place to find publishers for short stories and poems. She even has a top tip for Submittable which you can find out by listening to the episode! We finish our conversation with Kate sharing what she's writing at the moment and how Natalia Ginzburg's Little Book Of Virtues has inspired her to write a new essay.

A poem a day keeps the sadness at bay.
Production and Sound Design by Kevin Seaman
December can offer a full range of weather conditions in Connecticut, and the first week of this December here has seen two major storms, known as Nor'easters, marked by heavy rain and wind. Today I read poems about rain, including winter rain, by Matsuo Basho, William Shakespeare, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Carl Sandburg, Elizabeth Bishop, Robert Creeley, and Ken Hada. I end the program with one of my own poems.
El plan es el cuerpo. Hay a cada momento un diseño. Hay a cada momento algo para todos. El plan es el cuerpo. La mente está en la cabeza. Es un momento en el tiempo, un instante, un segundo. El ritmo de uno, y uno, y uno, y uno. El dos, el tres. El plan está en el cuerpo. Retenelo un instante en la mente: retenelo. Lo que se dijo lo dijiste vos. Las dos, las tres, veces en el cuerpo, manos, pies, vos te acordás: yo, yo me acuerdo, yo lo digo, lo digo. El plan es el cuerpo. Veces que no quisiste, veces que no se te ocurre que puedas querer, vos. Yo, yo, acordate, que yo acá, yo quiere, yo está pensando en vos. El plan es el cuerpo. El plan es el cuerpo. El cielo es el cielo. La madre, el padre: el plan es el cuerpo. ¿Quién lo puede leer? Un plan es el cuerpo. La mente es el plan. Yo: al habla. El recuerdo se acumula como el recuerdo, un plan, pensé que me acordaba, al volver a pensarlo, al pensar. La mente es el plan de la mente. El plan es el cuerpo. El plan es el cuerpo. El plan es el cuerpo. El plan es el cuerpo.
Ahora reconozco que era yo todo este tiempo como una cámara que se expone a una foto o un caño por el que podría pasar agua o un pollo muerto para la cena o un plan dentro de la cabeza de un muerto. Nada muy grave si uno piensa cómo empezó todo. Dijo Zukofsky: “Nací muy joven en un mundo ya muy viejo”. Estaba bien entrado el siglo cuando llegué, y ahora que termina me doy cuenta de que no va a demorar. ¿Pero no podría haber sido un poco más amable, como diría mi mamá? ¿Había que matar todo lo que se moviera, el bien siempre tenía que estar tan mal? Sé que este cuerpo es impaciente. Sé que sólo constituyo escasas voz y mente. Y sin embargo amé, amo. No quiero sentimentalismos. No quiero más que un hogar.
In this first of two sessions we talk humbly about, around, and through Robert Creeley by way of examining two poems: "The Immoral Proposition" and "Kore" (with more to come in our next session). This talk is characterized in part by our coming to terms of our inability to come to terms with what Creeley left us past deep appreciations and some loose holds on his poetics, intermixed with wonder at how much he was able to enjamb into the finitudes of his practice: "O love,/where are you/leading/me now?"
Si la noche es el tiempo más arduo, más cercano, vienen los días. La mañana se abre con la luz en la ventana. Después, igual que ahora, el sol se trepa al cielo azul. Al mediodía en la playa podría pasarme toda la vida contemplando estas olas relucientes seguir el ruido que hacen hasta lo más profundo de la mente y los ecos: que la luz como el aire sea un alivio. El viento tironea la cara y las manos, se enfría. ¿Qué puede pensar uno? La playa es una piedra innumerable. Pasan nubes con la panza gris, racimos blancos de aire, puro aire. El agua circula por los bordes, espuma que se arremolina azul, verde, blanca. Lo que se pierda entonces, será recuperado. ¿Qué importa en este mundo como si fuera uno?
In which the wonderful and somewhat mysterious poet Albert Glover reads from his forthcoming book, Gone as Well. Albert's statement about himself: “The poet Charles Olson, my best teacher and mentor, has been a major influence. I have also been privileged to study with Robert Creeley, Robert Duncan, Basil Bunting, Hugh Kenner, and Jeremy Prynne....
para Bobbie Ayer quería hablar de eso, el sentido que se impone sobre los demás, que para mí es importante porque todo lo que sé proviene de lo que me enseña. ¿Hoy qué es eso que siente al fin tan indefenso, diferente, pierde las esperanzas según su propio testimonio, quiere alejarse, interminablemente alejarse? Si la luna no… no, si vos no yo tampoco, pero qué no haría yo, qué precaución, qué cosa enseguida interrumpida. Eso es amor ayer o mañana, no ahora. ¿Puedo comer de lo que me das? No me lo gané. ¿Tengo que pensar en todo como algo que hay que ganarse? Ahora el amor también es una recompensa tan lejana de mí que tuve que inventármela en la mente. Acá está el tedio, la desesperanza, una dolorosa sensación de aislamiento y un grandilocuente si no caprichoso amor propio. Pero esa imagen es sólo de la vaga estructura de la mente, vaga para mí porque es mi propio amor, ¿qué pienso decir? No puedo decirlo. ¿Qué pregunta te has vuelto, en qué te he convertido, compañera, buena compañía, piernas cruzadas con pollera, o cuerpo mullido bajo los huesos de la cama? Nada dice nada, salvo lo que quisiera que se haga realidad, teme qué más podría pasar en algún otro lugar, en algún otro momento que no sea éste. Una voz en mi lugar, un eco de eso solamente en el tuyo. Dejame que tropiece no con la confesión sino con la obsesión con la que empiezo ahora. Por vos, también (también) a veces un momento más allá del lugar, o un lugar más allá del momento, sin resto de mente para decir nada de nada, esa cara ya desapareció, ahora. En compañía del amor todo regresa.
In this far ranging and fetching introduction to the term “swerve”—the first of two (saving its application to Lucretius and his brand of Epicurean thought to our next meeting)—we carve around the eruption of Mount Vesuvius (79 CE), the nature of sermons, the polysemy nature of the term, Brancusi’s “Bird in Space,” the Bill Murray-cast film adaption of “The Razor’s Edge,” Ross Macdonald’s short story “The Guilt-Edged Blond,” Paul Davies’ HOW TO MAKE A TIME MACHINE, The Hardy Boys, Dashiell Hammett’s “Flitcraft Parable,” the literary term “volta,” Sophocles’ “Oedipus Rex,” John Ashbery, chance and chaos processes, and variation on a line by Robert Creeley. To note, this call to swerve chronologically is our first session.
Production and Sound Design by Kevin SeamanFor Loveby Robert Creeleyfor BobbieYesterday I wanted tospeak of it, that sense above the others to meimportant because allthat I know derivesfrom what it teaches me. Today, what is it that is finally so helpless,different, despairs of its own statement, wants toturn away, endlesslyto turn away.If the moon did not ...no, if you did notI wouldn’t either, but what would I notdo, what prevention, what thing so quickly stopped. That is love yesterday or tomorrow, notnow. Can I eatwhat you give me. Ihave not earned it. Must I think of everythingas earned. Now love also becomes a reward soremote from me I haveonly made it with my mind.Here is tedium,despair, a painfulsense of isolation and whimsical if pompousself-regard. But that image is only of the mind’svague structure, vague to me because it is my own.Love, what do I thinkto say. I cannot say it.What have you become to ask, what have I made you into,companion, good company, crossed legs with skirt, or soft body underthe bones of the bed.Nothing says anything but that which it wishes would come true, fears what else might happen insome other place, some other time not this one. A voice in my place, an echo of that only in yours.Let me stumble intonot the confession but the obsession I begin with now. For youalso (also)some time beyond place, or place beyond time, no mind left tosay anything at all,that face gone, now.Into the company of love it all returns.
I’m delighted to offer Episode 58 of Open Windows. My program today is the seventh in a series of programs that present poems written by poets living in various geographic regions of the country. My six earlier programs in this series included poets from the Southwest, the South more broadly, the Midwest, the Mountain Region of the West, the Pacific Region, and from two of the Mid-Atlantic states, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Today's program is the first of two programs focusing on New York, which is the third Mid-Atlantic state. I read poems by poets from what is known as Upstate New York: Mary Panza, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Anthony Hecht, Carl Dennis, and Robert Creeley.
A confusão é um sentimento desvalorizado. E esse poema confuso de Robert Creeley pode nos ajudar a entender melhor o que isso quer dizer. Poema original: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/poems/28666/for-love
The Jazz Session celebrates its 500th episode with NEA Jazz Master Sheila Jordan. In this interview, Jordan talks about how a nickel changed her life; her early years on 52nd Street with Charlie Parker; her work with Steve Swallow and the poetry of Robert Creeley; her approach to ballads and teaching; and more. A Special Note: Five hundred episodes. Twelve years. The Jazz Session is, if I do say so myself, a one-of-a-kind archive of the past decade and more of this music. Hundreds of hours of stories by the people who create the music we love. I started this show in 2007 with no idea what I was doing, other than knowing I loved interviewing jazz musicians and thought other people might like it, too, if this whole podcasting thing ever caught on. When I started this show my older son was 4 and my younger son was not yet 1. Now both are over 6' tall and one is about to start college. And through all these years, all the moves, all the life changes, The Jazz Session has kept going. Now the question becomes, how much further can it go? And the only person who can answer that question is you. I'm only able to make this show because people like you make the switch from listeners to members. I'd like to be able to do so much more with The Jazz Session: more in-person interviews, more festival coverage, more travel. That's possible only if you decide that you value this show enough to support it. If you do, go to thejazzsession.com/join and become a member for $5 or $10 a month. You'll get bonus episodes, early access to every show, and more. Thank you for being here all these years. Now, become a part of the next 500 episodes by becoming a member.

Poet Ben Luton joins us to share some original work, as well as poems from Robert Creeley and Karin Lessing. Originally aired on February 16th 2019.
Nel 1981 Lacy incide col suo sestetto l'album Songs, con testi e con la partecipazione del poeta Brion Gysin, un artista la cui vicenda risaliva al surrealismo e si era poi intrecciata con quella della beat generation: è un altra testimonianza dell'interese di Lacy per il nesso musica/parole e per la poesia, e anche del suo rapporto personale, fin dagli anni cinquanta, con molti poeti. Un poeta su cui Lacy, assieme ad Irene Aebi, lavora intensamente, mettendone in musica molte poesie, è per esempio Robert Creeley. Fra tanti duo nei quali Lacy - molto stimolato da questa dimensione ridotta - si produce, è decisamente speciale quello con una vecchia conoscenza come Gil Evans, al piano e piano elettrico, che si concretizza in un album inciso a Parigi nel 1987, Paris Blues.

Known for the warmth, humor, clarity, and depth of his teachings, Zen teacher Peter Levitt is also the author of fourteen books of poetry and prose. Legendary poet Robert Creeley wrote that Peter Levitt’s poetry “sounds the honor of our common dance.” Town Hall is thrilled to welcome Peter to the stage for an evening sharing his recent works of poetry that explores our connection to the natural world and sing the sacred in the everyday. After the readings, he was joined in conversation with poet Shin Yu Pai, Town Hall’s Inside/Out Neighborhood Resident representing Phinney/Greenwood. Sit in with Peter and Shin Yu for an intimate discussion of the complexities of human relationships and the notion of coming home to ourselves—to who and what we naturally and truly are. Peter Levitt began his Zen practice in the late sixties in San Francisco, and he received lay entrustment from Zoketsu Norman Fischer, which authorized him to teach in the lineage of Shunryu Suzuki-Roshi. He is the founder and guiding teacher of the Salt Spring Zen Circle on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia. Peter edited Thich Nhat Hanh’s classic, The Heart of Understanding, and he served as Associate and Translation Editor of Treasury of the True Dharma Eye: Zen Master Dogen’s Shobo Genzo, edited by Kazuaki Tanahashi. His ten poetry books include Within Within, One Hundred Butterflies, and Bright Root, Dark Root. In addition, he published Fingerpainting on the Moon: Writing and Creativity as a Path to Freedom. His publishing career includes fiction, journalism and literary translations from Chinese, Japanese and Spanish. In 1989, Peter received the prestigious Lannan Foundation Award in Poetry. Shin Yu Pai is Town Hall Seattle’s 2018 Inside/Out Resident representing the Phinney Greenwood neighborhoods. Shin Yu is a poet, cross-media artist, and curator for the collaborative global exploration project Atlas Obscura. Her poetic origins inform an artistic style that has grown beyond the written word—manifesting in photography, installation and public art, cross-disciplinary collaborations, and sound. She encourages us to reflect upon the essential questions of our own lives, and to explore how we see that interrogation expressed or mirrored around us. Recorded live at Phinney Center by Town Hall Seattle on Thursday, March 22, 2018.

Since the early 2000s, Joshua Beckman has experimented with nature of performing poetry. He has traveled with gangs of poets around the country in a bus, reading in far-flung and unusual venues. He has written live improvisational collaborative poems and recently has given many one-on-one poetry readings. In this episode of The Organist, Ross Simonini speaks to Beckman about the way he reads and writes his poetry aloud, his favorite poetry recordings, and the many poets—Lew Welch, Frank O'Hara, Robert Creeley—whose verbal and performative antics have inspired him. Joshua Beckman's Poetry Mixtape For The Organist, Joshua Beckman selected eight of his favorite audio recordings of poets performing their work aloud.

_ Snacky Tunes _ is back with a brand new episode featuring Chef Johnny Zone of Howlin’ Rays Hot Chicken and musical guest Jaye Bartell. Straight from the scene in Los Angeles, host Darin Bresnitz is in conversation with Johnny, talking his serious passion for fried chicken. An LA native, Johnny shares that he has worked under some of the best chefs in the world, including Thomas Keller, Gordon Ramsay and Nobu Matsuhisa. Last year, during a stage at Sean Brock’s Husk in Nashville, a local chef introduced Johnny to Nashville Hot Chicken. It was instantaneous love. Johnny brought back tales of this hidden gem to LA and thus Howlin’ Rays was born. In the second half of the show, Greg Bresnitz welcomes musician Jaye Bartell to the studio. Born in Massachusetts, Jaye Bartell moved to Asheville, NC, in the early 2000s where he began playing music among friends as a parallel activity to his work with poetry and other writing. Writing was his main focus for most of a decade—a time that involved constant traveling and moving around the U.S., mostly between North Carolina and the Pacific Northwest, where he lived on a small island in northern Washington. It wasn’t until Jaye moved to Greenpoint, Brooklyn in the fall of 2013, where he began working on the new set of material that will furnish his next release — a set of songs that examine and resist transcendence, dissociation, and departure to “find a home on earth” as Robert Creeley wrote, and take images and inspiration from hot air balloons, Spalding Gray, and the neighborhood around McGolrick Park. “The beauty to me is its [hot chicken] relatability in all culture… Why I fell in love with it is the heat really opened up my palate, it gave me a different sensation!” [28:45] –Johnny Zone on Snacky Tunes
