Poetry World Premiere: Wednesday, June 11th!

You read that right, a poetic experience is about to be unleashed upon the world!

Just imagine if a poem got the same world premiere treatment of a Hollywood blockbuster.

Will “everyone” go see the next Mission: Impossible movie? Probably. Will they find it preposterous? Of course.

But it’d be nice if other types of art and expression got The Hollywood Treatment.

How cool would it be to attend a lavish, celebrity-fueled party celebrating the power and prowess of the written word (especially in the age of AI-authored glop)?

Poetry can be tough; not everyone’s a fan. Sometimes it’s so self-serious it becomes damn near impossible to pick apart the meaning. Other poems are light and airy, not so densely packed. But poetry is a lot like beer: The first few experiences are going to be unsavory, but over time, you can develop a taste for it.

Poetry is also one of the lowest-barrier-to-entry ways to express an idea; all it takes is paper and pen. Poetry can be almost as easy as the classic back-of-the-napkin-sketch.

If you had to write a poem, what would it be?

I challenged myself to write a poem and it world premieres on the podcast this Wednesday, June 11th. See you on the red carpet.
