"Telluric Voices." is a cycle of 21 poems + epilogue that follows the poet through the seasons over the course of one year in poetic time. It was inspired by the earth energy of his home in the Helderberg Mountains of New York State.

Telluric Justice.

Everyone seemed to be otherwise engaged during my reading at the Albany Social Justice Center this week with the exception of a hardcore crew. We had a lovely dinner at Van's Vietnamese Restaurant beforehand topped off with my FAVORITE VIETNAMESE COFFEE and made our way down the avenue to the show just as Dan was opening the doors.


It was in intimate reading with mostly family and friends. Some of whom were very old friends we have not seen in some time. I enjoyed myself and it seemed those in attendance did also. Here is a little recording I made and posted on Souncloud with some bits edited out to protect the goofy.

A NEW telluric poem for tomorrow today.




The poetry of a rock wall on side of a mountain 
leaves you speechless:


Hours
           pass

you sit

astride
        this
        fieldstone
wall

words

           come

    slower

  now

each one
tethered
to lifetime
of use

misuse

the poem
more       sculpture
than painting

a process

a taking
away

removal

until all
that remains
is bone

white
          gleaming

cleansed

      by wind
through leaves

exposed

to light
of day.

Almost Telluric...

Here's a little audio recording of a poem that just missed being included in Telluric Voices. It even almost became the "Main Menu Screen" on the "Telluric Visions." DVD, but since it was not in the actually book I chose to use the raw file of "Morning Doves In My Hollow Tree" instead. Who wants to hear a poem read over and over again on a loop you can't mute anyway! ;)

So here is the SoundCloud Link:



I still like it so maybe it will be in a future mix... Say: "Telluric Voices/Visions Part Deux..." ???

I mixed the original upload of "Morning Doves In My Hollow Tree." with a recording of me reading the poem into "Voice Plus" on my iPhone with a swirling effect.

Enjoy!
