April 9, 2007 Something for everyone... I am hoping to make the IW a much more active place. Though I think it’s evolving on a near constant basis at this point, I’m slowly shaping it into what I want it to be. Today, I am reviewing three things - one for the reader, one for the listener, and one for the looker. You never know. This may turn out to be a new format that actually sticks. Thanks for sticking with me through all the upheaval! ~~~~~ For the Reader When the Rain Comes - Josh Rountree - Lone Star Stories Definitely worth the time to read. A bit of history, a bit of flare. A bit of mutation, science, magic, swirled into the realm of an old-time, Wild West freak show. Calling to mind a time period I am enamored with certainly didn't hurt but that's not the only thing going for this piece. A tale of the human condition with some apt and beautiful phrases. Given a gift that is both blessing and curse - what would you do?
Mango Pretty - Cheryl Boyce Taylor - IndieFeed: Performance Poetry Infectious. Riotous. The kind of poem that worms its way into your gut and stays there - a rhythm for a lonely morning, a soundtrack to a busy life for a girl who tends to wallow in goeatworms kind of days.... Perfect for me. Listen to it. It's worth the time.
With beautiful flights of fancy - his landscapes are of this world, beyond this world. Amazing and simple. Some of them are familiar - like the Book of Books - I keep feeling like I've seen it before but I know I haven't. ~*~ Notes in Closing Please note that, once archived, I cannot gaurantee the links.
