Alone Together
Podcast de VerseFirst Productions
We gather together in Coffee shops, Pub back rooms, Theater spaces art galleries sometimes even living rooms to speak verse to listening ears. It's what we live for, we wordsmiths. We find ourselves in the undulating gaze of an audience, validate our art on the mics and stages of venues as much as we do the Pages of books and magazines. The stages are quiet now. We find ourselves asking if a poem, unspoken, in a closed book, in an isolated room, is still a poem? VerseFirst is trying an experiment. To invite poets to read for an audience, they can neither see nor hear. I'm inviting poets to write and perform poems on a theme each week that will be broadcast into the ears of hundreds individually, rather than hundreds all at once. We will start small. But. If it works, we will invite more poets to the virtual mic. Culminating in weekly poetry session open to all, with poets across the world contributing performances, writing for and to each of us shut-in at home. We have no choice in isolation. No choice but be alone in this, for the moment. But at least we can be alone together

hello again, it’s been a while this is alone together I am always fascinated by the ways poetry comes to you. it always finds you, in multitudinous and multivarious ways in fact, it would be safe to say. there are as many different ways for poetry to find a poet, as there are for your poems to find me. todays episode, shows the work of a poet I liked the work of. that’s about it. no theme, no stimulus word, no prestige... at least not yet. They are a verse maker from North Carolina, the far side of the pond from me. with a hallucinatory and sonically fluid work that I thought looked tasty on the page, but delicious on the ear. Her Name is Nicole Verrone, and I asked her to read a bit from her Debut nest of stars and tell me a bit about how the poems came to be. Take a listen.

How Locked down are you? Right now? Are we shielding? Do you, like me, keep misplacing your mask? This is a moment, a strange one to experience.
