poetry OUTLOUD
Original / commissioned / performed
Sun Shadow Beats
Sun Shadow Beats started as a Covid clutter-clearing experiment. Papers written and hoarded over decades of a life mounted so high I thought reading and recording the stacks of poetry and prose out loud would help me move them out the door. It didn’t. Instead they became precious spells by which I cast back in time to emotions and memories, fantasies and relationships long since lost, abandoned and forgotten. Forgive that I chant them rather than type them and travel with me…
Poetic Friends
Creators wear many masks and poet is just one of mine. To learn how to write better I read my betters. And, since I had already started reading my own poems out loud I thought I would welcome more poetic friends into the mix. But we now live in a visual world and these voices from the past cried out for more than a voice in the dark. And so I present, for pleasure and for sale, performance poetry for the modern age of YouTube and TikTok, for 360 videos and VR creators, for immersive educators…
Sun Shadow Beats…
When words matter…
It can be hard to find the right words for a special occasion.
When you want to delight.
It can be hard to find the right words for any occasion.
Hard when life gets hard.
I can help.

“My dad loved the limerick you wrote for his birthday. I’m so happy you could include the details I gave you. He said it was so him. Thank you so much for writing it in time!”

“Delightful character reading and delivery! The green screen video was perfect for our 360 video tour of 18th century poets. Quick turnaround and easy to communicate with.”
