April is National Poetry Month but every day is poetry. When I listen to songs, I tend to remember the lyrics before I can remember the melodies. Commercials hook me when I hear poetry in them.
Here are poets I pay attention to. They all wear many brilliant hats.
- Martha Clark Scala. This YouTube video shows Martha the poet on April 2, 2010 at Escape from New York Pizza, San Francisco http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5e7v716WQ0 To see what other hats Martha wears, please visit www.mcscala.com
- Joan Gelfand. A powerful speaker. http://joangelfand.com/listen http://joangelfand.com/main/ has the link to the video of Joan with Kim McMillon with Janice Edwards on Bay Area Vista.
- Deborah Grossman, City of Pleasanton Poet Laureate! Delightful. You can meet Deborah at events this summer, autumn and winter: http://www.ci.pleasanton.ca.us/community/arts/civic-arts-literary.html http://www.deborahgrossman.com/
- Yolande Barial, founder of Your Words Project. You just have to meet Yolande and hear her poetry, her spoken word. Please add audio to your blog. http://yolandebarial.wordpress.com/
- Maxine Hong Kingston. Her book The Woman Warrior had inspired me to write my stories which turned into Love Made of Heart the novel. Lunch Poems: Maxine Hong Kingston. She is SO funny! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeaOmyZk4U0 And mesmerizing. Zen circles; Chinese 4 word poems.
My hat off to you, Martha, Joan, Deborah, Yolande, Maxine!
Sincerely,
Teresa
