On 17 May, I posted regarding my interview on Access Radio https://kmorrispoet.com/2022/05/17/my-forthcoming-interview-on-access-radio/. The show was scheduled to air yesterday (Wednesday 18th May). However the broadcast did not take place.
For anyone who tuned in at 9 pm (UK time) yesterday evening, please accept my apologies. I shall contact the producer and ascertain when the programme will be available, and post a link to the podcast once it is online.
Whilst walking passed a newly dug grave
I met an old ghoul named Dave,
Who said, “are you afeared
Of my big bushy beard?”.
I said, “Dave, you really should shave!”.
On Wednesday 18 May, I am scheduled to appear on Access Radio, which is hosted by Amy Amantea.
Access Radio is broadcast on Vancouver Co-op Radio, and my interview (which is around an hour in length) is scheduled to be aired at 13:00 (Vancouver time), which equates to 9 pm (UK time).
During my pre-recorded interview, I talk about my life as a blind/visually impaired person in the UK. In addition I read a number of my poems and discuss what inspired me to compose them.
You can find out about Access Radio here https://coopradio.org/shows/access-radio/. If you are unable to listen on Wednesday 18th, a podcast of the show will be available at a later date and will be posted here.
When a young lady named Lake
Leapt out of my birthday cake,
I said, “you are witty
And more than just pretty,
And you have ruined my cake!”
On 12 May, I was honoured to appear on Vancouver Co-op Radio’s the World Poetry Reading Series. During my interview, I read and discussed my poetry.
I am pleased to announce that a podcast of my interview is now available on mixcloud.com and can be found here https://www.mixcloud.com/VictorSchwartzman/world-poetry-cafe-for-may-12/
You don’t need an account with Mixcloud to listen back to the show. I used Chrome to access the podcast, but any up-to-date browser should work.
My segment starts approximately 41 minutes into the podcast and ends at about the 54th minute.
My thanks to Ariadne Sawyer of the World Poetry Series for allowing me to read and talk about my poetry on her show.
We love the wood
By day
And take our delight
In glades.
But when light fades
And day
Is swallowed by night
Fears play.
While drunk on the finest old wine
I spied a young lady most Divine.
Her name it is Miss Spink
And she gave me a wink,
But perhaps that was merely the wine …!
She took her headscarf off.
There was no real affair,
Just a loss
Of her cloth,
And gloss
Coming off …
Women and wine
Are sometimes divine.
But the eternal breeze
Shakes leaves from trees
And poets know
All must go
Save the breeze.
On Tuesday 10 May, I was interviewed by Ariadne Sawyer of Vancouver Co-op Radio’s The World Poetry Reading series over Zoom. During the interview I talked about and read my poetry.
The show is due to be broadcast at 9 pm (UK time) today (Thursday 12 May). For details of Vancouver Co-op Radio’s The World Poetry Reading Series please follow this link https://coopradio.org/shows/world-poetry-cafe/.
