I've been compiling music and poems for tomorrow night's radio show. All week I've been listening to new jazz and old Appalachian sounds. There's a slight element of creepiness to the show, but Poe's words will always do this, and there's the ever-present unexpected...
Along with broadcasting "Annabel Lee," I will be reading one of James Magee's extended "poem-titles" on tomorrow's show. It is, in fact, the source for the title of the episode.
In the next post, I'll give you an earful on Magee, who is an artist and former attorney, esconced in a large-scale, lifetime project. Though not a poet, words have a remarkable place in his visionary artwork.
"Audio Saucepan" airs Sundays, 5-6PM (Mountain Time) on Santa Fe Public Radio KSFR 101.1FM, with simultaneous access via the internet at www.ksfr.org.
Tomorrow's show (April 3) is "The Shameless Promise Episode” and includes the poems “Annabel Lee” by Edgar Allan Poe (from The Essential Edgar Allan Poe, Naxos AudioBooks); “Untitled (Sometimes yes.)” by James Magee (from The Hill, Prestel); and an excerpt from Adam Foulds' epic verse narrative The Broken Word (Penguin Books); along with a wide variety of intriguing and unexpected music.
Please tune in!
