Description

This podcast is focused on 3 core values: a “be-loving” intercultural imagination, a love for wordsong as the calling of a modern “troubadour,” & the desire to compose in verse a modern-day scripture or testament as Wordsworth, Blake, or Whitman tried to do. I’m offering “workshops” & “interviews” in talk-show style to dramatize my daily verse-creating interaction with mentors for people who want to sample the fruits of a poetic life which is a pioneering venture in both melodious form & intercultural, inter-religious content. My mission is to illustrate my 3 main approaches to life-and-art.
