What a delight to play some music and read some poetry that is influencing my work, to share some of that work, and chat with writer Rena Priest!
The Playlist:
Jimi Hendrix: All along the watchtower
Anna Akhmatova
He loved three things in life:
Evensong, white peacocks
And old maps of America.
He hated it when children cried.
Edgar Meyer: Bach Cello Suite (on bass), C Minor Courante
Asaf Avidan: Bang Bang
Sheila Chandra: Speaking in Tongues
Johnny Cash: Personal Jesus
Kenneth Patchen
The sea is awash with roses O they blow
Upon the land
The still hills fill with their scent
O the hills flow on their sweetness
As on God’s hand
O love, it is so little we know of pleasure
Pleasure that lasts as the snow
But the sea is awash with roses O they blow
Upon the land
Buena Vista Social Club: Chan Chan
Nina Simone: Sugar in my Bowl
DakhaBrakha: Sho Z-Pod Duba
