Why don't you cut your strings, leave that stuffy office and join the rebellion? I'd bet you'd like to read yourself at the top of your lungs in a smoky underground cellar of a place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983462.post-1098812111382319992004-10-26T10:35:00.000-07:002004-10-26T10:35:00.000-07:00Bah, what is this nonsense, "Oral Medium?"
Oral Me...Bah, what is this nonsense, "Oral Medium?"<br />Oral Medium begin with illiterate audience, of tribe, of Shakespeare. As you like it. Vaudeville minus-1.<br /><br />That Shakespeare great writer, was accident. Globe Theatre audience want entertainment, not great writer. Same is true today, would seem.<br /><br />Word on Page is evolution. Word on Demi-Puppet is evolution still, unless Wenclas beat drum to communicate with Ukraine, while shouting poetry at Snakehead Bar.<br /><br />Painted face and dramatic Voice, Performer. Who is Acting like Demi-Puppet now? Who is shouting on command to impress his comrades, at "cool underground bar?"<br /><br />Evil Journalista has no use for such things. Is sidetrack, for literature. Is novelty, like finding Sandburg tape, at library. <br /><br />Sandburg book is much better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983462.post-1098801633019512602004-10-26T07:40:00.000-07:002004-10-26T07:40:00.000-07:00An ignorant comment, in that it ignores the histor...An ignorant comment, in that it ignores the history of poetry-- that it began as an oral medium. Homer's poems were supposedly read aloud for centuries before they were written down. Shakespeare's writing is much, much better when listened to, than read. Yes, the words are important. The best poetry uses words to create meaning and art-- which is what I said in my post.<br /><br />Your statement about Sandburg makes my point. Poetry is overlooked in this society because so many who try reading it aloud, shouldn't. But thank you for your response. I's always a pleasure hearing from actual demi-puppets.King Wenclashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13709139159194279478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983462.post-1098747676743507592004-10-25T16:41:00.000-07:002004-10-25T16:41:00.000-07:00In my country, poem is read by men in halter top. ...In my country, poem is read by men in halter top. <br />State Approved.<br /><br />Wenclas, hear ghost of Allen Ginsberg read poem Hum-Bom, he finish in '91, on Saddam. Is best reading ever, of poem, on tape. Then Ginsberg sing poem with queer lover, sound like Bob Dylan taking it, in ass. Poem of Blake, his Songs. What is this, Performance? Why of Blake, of Dylan, from Ginsberg? Is this of value from old poet? Evil Journalista wish very much to talk with Ginsberg, ask question. Instead, he ask Wenclas, on Demi-Puppet.<br /><br />Ask question, use brain. <br />Little lamb i'll tell thee.<br /><br />Evil Journalista is unsure of poem reading. Is good? Is bad? Evil Journalista think many things on Performance Poem. Unsure of verdict. Will ponder, at night in lonely room, with alcohol. Wenclas say, "Is best way, read poem, show Voice." Evil Journalista not seek Voice, in poem. Seek words, in poem. Seek Voice in American Idol, on FOX.<br /><br />Carl Sandburg read poems, on tape. Carl Sandburg say, "Hunt...ing...ton sleep in house 6 feet long. Hunt...ing...ton dream of rail....roads." As young man, Evil Journalista listen to these poem, and fall asleep, from Carl Sandburg. Still, to this day, he remembers Huntington poem, with word "Blithery," at end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
