Hosted by JOHN GARDINER, Poet/Shakespearean Teacher with Co-Host, POLINA HRYN, Artist/Writer/Promoter of The Arts, this talk show focused on meanings of language in poems and songs.
Story telling preceded metrical forms in poetry, and it also preceded the addition of musical instruments to enrich songs. The original storytellers were the elders, shamans, and perhaps the best hunters in small clans of early humans. The original "instrument" was the voice. These origins probably date back to the Pleistocene Epoch, if not earlier.
The show content revolved around language that resonates, language that is "heightened," delving into some great wordsmiths like Yeats, Neruda, Whitman, and occasionally Shakespeare. Also read were Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, and Leonard Cohen.
Guests included a wide variety of poets and singer/songwriters.
