Second and Third Hours
Jazz fans will like this show. Thomas Rain Crowe and Nan Watkins dropped in to talk about their new book of interviews with great composers and players, Rare Birds, published late last year by the University Press of Mississippi. And if you’re going to talk about music, you really should play some, right? So the show features full tracks by Charles Lloyd, Philip Glass, Eugene Friesen, Sathima Bea Benjamin, and the Abdullah Ibrahim Trio. Enjoy.
Ah, poets … not the promptest people on the earth’s face, are we? If you’d tuned into this week’s Wordplay, you might have thought I’d just repeated last week’s fine show with Robert Bly, and moved on.
True, this week’s show does start off with about 15 minutes of the show with Bly; I’d cued it up when none of my guests had appeared by airtime, and a few minutes later headed the half-block to Malaprops for a cup of coffee. Half way there, though, I saw Glenis Redmond heading in my direction, so I met her and we headed back to the station. A few steps on, Laura Hope-Gill shouted from her car that she’d be there as soon as she parked, and that Sebastian Matthews was on the way. By a quarter after we had gathered in the studio (and Sebastian came along a couple minutes later – and brought with him Ryan Walsh, who’s now helping him edit Rivendell), and at the first break in the Bly show we went live, reading poems and talking over poetry, poets, the upcoming Wordfest, and the new plan for Rivendell for the rest of the hour. Turns out they’d all been to the same Kwanzaa party the night before, and had had a bit too much fun …
Give it a listen.
And if you wanted to catch the Bly show, it’s still available on the archive too, and it’s worth catching.

Way back in late September, Mark Strand (that Mark Strand – former Poet Laureate, MacArthur Fellowship winner, and on and on, arguably one of the most celebrated poets of the last fifty years) visited Asheville to read for the benefit for RiverSculpture, a cause near and dear to the hearts of his old friends Robert and Arlene Winkler. He actually read twice, once at the home of Ron and Nancy Edgerton, and then again at the local Barnes & Noble. Your intrepid reporter had to head to Hickory for the Spirit of Black Mountain College festival on the 25th, so couldn’t record the B&N event, but did catch the private reading the night before. This week’s Wordplay features that reading.
I’ve included part of a 2007 reading at George Mason University, as well, one in which Strand gave a more chronological overview of his work.
It’s fascinating work, of course. I’d read most of his poems through the years quietly, to myself, and hearing him in person made me aware that I’d missed much of the music. Note to self: poetry needs to be sounded out. Always, no matter how ratiocinative and logopoetic (in Pound’s sense) it might appear.
Robert and Arlene were on hand for the show, and gave listeners out in radioland a primer on RiverSculpture and its mission, and some background on Strand and the readings.
