Poems & Whiskey

Michael Chilcutt

Poems & Whiskey is the project of Michael C. It's a weird and rambly talk show that's usually pretty funny. Enough that the Spotify powers that be labeled this show 'comedy'. Now whether that means I'm funny or that I'm a joke, well... In this thing, I talk to all sorts of creative types across all levels of skill and exposure. We sit and chat about what the hell we think we're doing and have drink (or two). Pull up a chair and join us, friend. Cheers y'all! Updates 2 times a month or so on Wednesdays. Hosted on Acast.

  1. Searching for a Trail

    2D AGO

    Searching for a Trail

    Surprised By Evening by Robert Bly There is unknown dust that is near usWaves breaking on shores just over the hillTrees full of birds that we have never seenNets drawn with dark fish.The evening arrives; we look up and it is thereIt has come through the nets of the starsThrough the tissues of the grassWalking quietly over the asylums of the waters.The day shall never end we think:We have hair that seemed born for the daylight;But at last the quiet waters of the night will riseAnd our skin shall see far off as it does under water.

  2. To Reach You

    APR 9

    To Reach You

    My house says to me, “Do not leave me, for here dwells your past.”And the road says to me, “Come and follow me, for I am your future.”And I say to both my house and the road, “I have no past, nor have I a future. If I stay here, there is a going in my staying; and if I go there isa staying in my going. Only love and death change all things.”-- Kahlil Gibran from Sand and Foam Marcus Benjamin Ray Bradley : Imagining All The People: Poetry Inspired by the Characters in the Lyrics of The Beatles The Beatle Works LTD Book Baby Direct Mentions: John Compton Willie Carver Marbles on the Floor The Archetypal Artist Stephen King : On Writing Kurt Vonnegut and Museum Supernatural Jack Kerouac The Beatles Led Zeppelin Lamp Lit Pablo Neruda Nizar Qabbani Ghost City Review AWP OIngo Boingo Sierra Ferrell Orville Peck Dolly Parton Good people doing good things ---> Random Acts' Lantern Fund, How to Help MN Master List , How to Perform an Act of Kindness Locally Food Not Bombs, INARA, MAP, Islamic Relief for Palestine, The Ghassan Abu Sittah Children's Fund Legacy of War Foundation UNHCR, *I own and profit off nothing in this bizarre hubristic venture.

    Love's the Only Thing

    Demeter’s Prayer to Hades "This alone is what I wish for you: knowledge. / To understand each desire has an edge, / to know we are responsible for the lives / we change. No faith comes without cost, / no one believes without dying. / Now for the first time I see clearly the trail you planted, / what ground opened to waste, / though you dreamed a wealth / of flowers. / There are no curses—only mirrors / held up to the souls of gods and mortals. / And so I give up this fate, too. Believe in yourself, / go ahead—see where it gets you." --- Rita Dove Jorge López Llorente 's Links Mentions: Alien Buddha Press Suburban Witchcraft David Lynch Joseph Heinrich Beuys The Archetypal Artist: Reimagining Creativity and the Call to Create Dan Brown Finnegan's Wake Lauren Markham Paul Auster Paris Review Caroline Polachek Good people doing good things ---> Random Acts' Lantern Fund, How to Help MN Master List , How to Perform an Act of Kindness Locally Food Not Bombs, INARA, MAP, Islamic Relief for Palestine, The Ghassan Abu Sittah Children's Fund Legacy of War Foundation UNHCR, *I own and profit off nothing in this bizarre hubristic venture.
