I just happened to stumble across this interview Z.M. Wise conducted with me back in late 2018 for his YouTube channel and thought now is as good a time as any to share…

From the viral fun of the Wuhan Age straight into the fevered depths of Orwell’s wet dream, welcome to round two of the Roaring Twenties.

Poet, playwright, and stage director, Carol Welter returned to the program to discuss the exciting projects she’s been working on of late.

I also played a new musical collaboration with Elize Kaisser that features my poem “Headlight Fever” set to her original music. A bit of soapbox ranting was mixed into the opening segment as usual.

Big thank you to Gitima Deka for inviting me to recite her poem “The Common Mass” to be used in a video. The final version of the collaboration turned out great with sound and production by Jiabul Hoque. Check it out here on YouTube…

I’m excited to share the results of an inspiring collaboration I was fortunate to be a part of recently. My reading of “It’s a Matter of Record/Opinion” has been taken to an entirely different level through the original music and production of Elizabeth Hélia Kaisser. I couldn’t be happier with the work she did on this new track that can be listened to here on YouTube…

This week’s episode of Songs of Selah features a conversation with Beverly M. Collins who joined the program to discuss her work and read several poems from her collection, Mud in Magic.

I also premiered the new production of my poem “It’s a Matter of Record/Opinion” with music from Elize Kaisser.
