I'm Ready for My Close Up, Mr. DeMille!!!!!

HAHA, just kidding. I had a BLAST on Drake's "StandAs1" show. Thanks to everyone who called in and made the experience that much better (you know who you are!).

I must say that poetry read aloud had a much different effect on me; it was more profound, commanding and authoritative. It took on a whole new feel and connotation. I felt a true sense of appreciation for those poets and their poems, one that I probably otherwise would not have experienced. Admittedly, I usually skip over many non-rhyme poems, but hearing them read aloud has a much different affect on me. I was able to hear inflections and emphasis that I lose when just reading them to myself (if that makes sense.) I wish I could hear all poems out loud.

Again, BIG shout out to Drake for his awesome show and to everyone who listened and participated. Even Sophia The Lush LOL! (sooo kidding!)  For anyone interested in giving the program a listen, just go here and enjoy. Much love to all my peeps <3

Scott Thirtyseven Date: 3/21/2014 5:32:00 PM Nice closing plug. Have listened to the entire show, enjoyed it, the two of you play off each other really well. Great to hear you, your accent in real life doesn't sound anything like you do in my head. Login to Reply

Scott Thirtyseven Date: 3/19/2014 8:57:00 PM That's where poetry should be at Chan, listened to. Join the performance brigade my friend. Watch again my "Morning" read on You-tube. http://youtu.be/egYjy4Iu5e8 For your viewing pleasure. I'll be listening to the radio show soon. Cheers Chan. PS- may PS hear our pleas for audio content. I personally record most of mine. Login to Reply Just That Archaic Poet Date: 3/20/2014 9:55:00 AM That's a grrrreat idea, Scott. How cool would that be? I will check out your vid as soon as I get back home. Thank you, my friend :)

Charmaine Chircop Date: 3/19/2014 12:09:00 PM I really wanted to listen to the whole show last Sunday but my little girl had one of those days .So I'm gonna have to make time and listen to you and all my other friends through archives!!! Login to Reply Just That Archaic Poet Date: 3/20/2014 9:56:00 AM Sounds great, Charm. Hope you enjoy and thank you :)

Kabuteng P.Ink K. Date: 3/19/2014 11:10:00 AM Hi Chan-- it sure was wonderful listening to you and Drake last Sunday... you definitely made the show interesting and I enjoyed the show very much & your discussions--it's so true, what you say here about poetry having a "whole new feel" when it is read aloud-- it adds another layer to the poem that would otherwise have been missed if it were just read silently. It sure would be awesome to have you back on the show...It was really great hearing the other Soupers call in! I'm sorry though that my call in there was on the dull side (haha, it truly was, I was listening to it and can't help saying to myself-- wow, I sound sooo mellow) I was having an e(h)vening but still wanted to call, add in my sucky connection & voila, a blah call from me, I sounded so weird. Sorry again :( Login to Reply Just That Archaic Poet Date: 3/20/2014 10:00:00 AM Hearing poetry read aloud was an awesome experience. Hey, no worries about your call; you couldn't help it, hon. I hope you can call in on Drake's next show and read something. I'm going to check out your poem later on today. Thanks so much for the kind words :)

Nette Onclaud Date: 3/19/2014 11:06:00 AM cheers to you, chan.. seems i will never have the chance to get into this show.. nontheless, i'm sure you rocked the house.. huggs Login to Reply Just That Archaic Poet Date: 3/20/2014 10:01:00 AM I hope I rocked it, Nette. Drake said he'd love to have me back so I guess I did well lol. Thanks so much, hon :) Kabuteng P.Ink K. Date: 3/19/2014 11:18:00 AM nette-- I refuse to think you wouldn't be able to get into that show? you used skype when you were Drake's co-host, right?

Painted Hunter Date: 3/19/2014 7:25:00 AM I missed it but I'm gonna go back and listen... Login to Reply Just That Archaic Poet Date: 3/20/2014 10:02:00 AM Hope you enjoy, Caleb :)

Sophia Valentina Date: 3/19/2014 6:32:00 AM You were a great guest on the show and very entertaining!!! If only Sally Jesse Raphael were still around... Login to Reply Just That Archaic Poet Date: 3/20/2014 10:04:00 AM Remember when I almost went on the Sally Show to be reunited with, ahem, uh...ummmm your good friend Lilly? LOL! I wish they could have located her sooner so I could have been on the show. That would have been sooo great! Thanks, Bish! ;)

Carrie Richards Date: 3/18/2014 6:25:00 PM I'm so sorry I was away this time, but I do plan to listen to the archive, but I've listened to Drakes show many times, and I agree! So many poems read aloud, have greater depth and meaning, and can reach the heart in such a human way. Congrats to you for your part......I can't wait to hear it!
