POETRY SUPER HIGHWAY BOOKSTORE
Featured this week in the Poets of the Week Books section of the PSH
Bookstore:
ALARM by MIKE DAILY (Book and Double CD Set)
This double CD and accompanying 212 page novel is a package, a
gripping excursion of spoken word and experimental sounds that delves
deeply into the broken mess of a society that is all-consuming but
seems to need nothing. Told from two different but simultaneously
engaged perspectives, this lyrically dense and aurally compelling
collection of songs is a soundtrack abstract, a cohesive yet jagged
splicing of stark voices, flits, buzzes, instruments and found sounds
that evoke time and place, while instinctively reflecting the
ever-changing perspective of the narrator(s). The first CD is studio
recordings, offering a more controlled environment that allows the
density of the words to run free on the palate, jutting in and out
while matching inflexion with the various percussive background
elements. The second disc is a field recording, a live
semi-improvised set that adds a raw element to the songs and provides
ever ascending levels of grit and intensity. Filled with humor, wit,
and a frightening comfort, this multifaceted collection is a spot-on
dedication to modern life and its charmingly fastidious tendencies.
Paperback/Double CD Set, 212 pages, published by Stovepiper Books
Media, (June, 2007)

Thanks Will...re local poets, the open reading is actually open to
anyone with a phone anywhere in the world...so 'local' is kind of a
relative term. I hope you'll tune in and maybe call and read a poem!

I have the telephone number, the broadcast will begin here around 6pm,
which is an hour before my band (all poets, actually) will meet for
Sunday practice. I most likely won't have an internet connection there
(although we're wired for WiFi in the building, so if someone brings a
laptop that part is possible, I just don't own one myself)... but, the
way it works, is I (or anyone else) simply call your number...
...then what?
I assume there's perhaps a wait to get on? I'll give a call and
probably find out from there. There's a chance that more than one
person in my building will want to read... should they call in
seperately, or would it be possible for 2-3 poets to read in the same
call?
Meanwhile, this is how I'm putting the word out to poet friends, both
local and in other areas... just a combo of details gathered from your
site(s):
