This podcast celebrates my love of poetry. I’ve been writing poetry for about 4 1/2 decades and after years of hauling around boxes of poetry books and scatters of paper with poetry scribbled in both sides I decided to unload the boxes and share with you my poetic creations.

    Episode 153 - “ I Wish I Was Gerrit Dou”

    Gerrit Dou was Rembrandt’s first student in the mid to late 1600’s. He is someone I always wished I had been, and when I first discovered him as a young art student studying art history, I had a tremendous amount of envy towards Gerrit, who got to learn from the master Rembrandt … it was but a dream, but a dream I had many, many, many times and still feeling achy those subtle twinges of envy even now. So this poem is sort of a tribute to Rembrandt, Garrit Dou and the dreams one has as a young artist yearning to connect to art history and learn from the genius Rembrandt in person and not merely through books and the paintings and art work he left behind.

    Episode 152 - “A Valentine’s Day poem”

    A poem about love … on Valentines Day. The kind of love that’s more than love. A poem reflecting the love and deep connection of two souls in a way that transcends reality and time and lifts you to a higher realm of beauty, harmony and happiness.

    Episode 151 - “Life’s Meaning”

    A quote from Albert Camus … “There is no love of life, without despair of life” led me on a deep contemplation about the meaning of life and how we come to find out our meaning for being here.

    Episode 149 - “Beneath Solitude”

    A poem that almost escaped by hiding under my bed. I was fortunate to recover it with a broom while sweeping… it must have fallen from the stack of written poems on my nightstand one evening and took refuse among the dust … “Beneath Solitude”

    Episode 148 - “So You Want to Be An Artist”

    This poem came to me after remembering a quote by Ernest Hemingway… “There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.” Most people see the end, product of creativity, a painting, a song, a book, a poem, but they are unaware of how much toil and turmoil goes in to lifelong creativity. This poem touches on just how difficult it is to create and what the cost is for following your creative passions.
