Welcome To PennyAPoem!

Each post of this blog will be about a poem I like. If you liked the poetry posts at Crossword Bebop, you'll like this blog. The current plan is to say a little bit about the poet, say a little bit about the poem, show the poem, and give a link to where my recitation of the poem can be found. The current plan is to host my recitations at SoundCloud.

I have a beautiful dream that people will take my recitations and use them in musical remixes. Not because my recitations are so great, but because the poems I plan to recite are so great. I will link to those remixes here.

I have a beautiful dream that people will use the lines from these poems and create illuminated texts, combinations of words and pictures.

I have a beautiful dream that people will create "poetic remixes" of the poems themselves.

I have a beautiful dream that people will find my recitations worthy of a penny.

Even if none of my beautiful dreams come true, after a while, I will have uploaded recitations of many great poems, poems that have rocked my gypsy soul somewhere along the way.

What's Going On Here?

Pretty much what the tagline says. I'm reciting poems I like, and making mashups of poems I like with the music for which my ear hungers when I read and think of these poems. It is my sincere hope that other lovers of these poems will do likewise.
