Hills: Children's poetry, but written by a child Parlando - Where Music and Words Meet

    • Книги

To observe this National Poetry Month I've been diving into a pair of poetry anthologies for children published in the 1922/1923. One poet included in them was an unusual case: Hilda Conkling, a child herself. That this grade-schooler was composing poems that often seemed to share Imagism's approaches intrigued some Modernists. Here's one of her poems set original music.
The Parlando Project takes various words (usually literary poetry) and combines them with original music in differing styles. We've done 750 of these combinations and you can hear them and read about this at our blog and archives located at frankhudson.org
