Dylan Thomas-my first thought as I began reading. A modern language version, of course. No one could turn language into music as Thomas did. Then; Satan comes as "an angel of light." But, more importantly, the poem gripped me and would not let go until I had finished reading it. An in- depth journey into the heart and mind. of man. Well done.
Thanks Bobbie. Age of Muses will definitely be focussing on reaching more and more “listeners.” Many new readings of both the masters across time and original living talents are on their way.
Hope all is well with you. Those quotes around listeners surely mean printed material. VA bought $7000 hearing aids for me, but my ears are picky about what they hear. Looking forward to more modern classics.
Thanks Jason. We have something special dropping this week, a new original short story titled “The Last Man of K- - -“ I think people are going to find it both riveting and timely.
I didn't attend Woodstock, but i had my own adventure. I was in bed with a sweet lady. We were in front of an open fire escape window when we heard a sudden racket when a column of men in helmets and rubber coats, armed with axes, wrecking bars and hooks, lept tgrough the window, across the bed, and out the door at the other end of my NYC railroad flat. Later I discovered that the fire department was responding to a smokey oven fire.
Regarding your poem, I enjoyed the relaxed tone of your blank verse. I too use that meter, persuaded to it by Coleridge's conversation poems. It is wonderful to find corroboration that the pentameter remains alive and kicking.0

Hey, David
Hope all is well with you. Those quotes around listeners surely mean printed material. VA bought $7000 hearing aids for me, but my ears are picky about what they hear. Looking forward to more modern classics.
Peace,
