A couple of weeks ago, Wordplay host Jeff Davis visited Charlottesville and met with poet Jessica Smith. This week’s show features her reading from her book Organic Furniture Cellar and talking about her work. Her poems have spatial as well as the usual temporal dimensions we associate with poetry, which most often remains, as Susan Howe put it in the title of her 1987 book, the articulation of sound forms in time. While there’s no way to share the visual fields via radio, you’ll find, I think, that there’s plenty left to catch your ears.
The program rebroadcasts (and streams) at 6:00 PM on Tuesday and again at 7:00 AM on Wednesday, but is available from the station’s archive page as either a stream or a podcast all day every day through next Sunday.
The version of the program that’s available today (Monday) begins with a couple of minutes of the show which precedes Wordplay, Pathways to the Sacred, but tonight a trimmed version of the show will go up on the internet server.
