episode 64 – Gerald Stern – part 02

November 30, 2011 in Retirement Verse | No comments

The recipient of numerous major American poetry awards, including the National Book Award, a fellowship from The Academy of Arts and Letters, the Ruth Lilly Prize, and now a chancellorship from the Academy of American Poets, Gerald Stern has taught at many universities and at The Iowa Writers Workshop until his retirement. Stern reads several poems from his 2008 collection Save the Last Dance, explaining their literary and autobiographical references. Stern asserts that he often writes from his own subconscious; he begins with whatever situation he is in and associates freely from there. At one point in the interview, Stern reads one of his most widely anthologized poems, “The Dancing,” and discusses how readers have responded to it. Age 83 at the time of this interview, Stern observes that he is as active as ever, reading, writing, traveling, and giving readings.

Dave Russell “Microscope” original song poem

November 15, 2011 in Retirement Verse | No comments

Heres the legendary Dave Russell performing “Microscope” his mesmerising original song in the style of an elementary science lesson. This recording comes from my first of my many video recording session with Dave in 1997 Dave Russel was born in Wolverhampton in the 1940′s in the English Midlands the son of a factory inspector he grew up from an early age in Middlesbough North East England which is where his accent originates. Dave has lived in London most of his life and performed his much loved songs around the acoustic venues of London since the early 1960′s. and was a regular down at Bunjies Folk Cellar until its closure as an acoustic venue in the late 1990′s. I first met Dave down there and he wowed me as he has done to thousands over the years with his unique performance and his wide range of songs and poems ranging from his own immortal poems and songs and his repertoire of blues,folk,pop and poetry.Dave is also an author of several science and adult fiction novels. An English teacher until his retirement Dave continues to perform regularly for appreciative audiences around London and elsewhere.

“Our Generation” Poem by Scott Matthew Marquart

October 30, 2011 in Retirement Verse | No comments

Our generation. A generation of boys who dont know if they ever want to be men. A generation of girls who dont know what it means to be a woman. Raised by the hands of those who gave up on love gave up on freedom gave into consumerism gave into adulthood despite the brightly colored flags of change they brought about before us. Our generation. A generation of workers who wonder what theyre working for. A generation of dreamers who wonder what theyre dreaming for. Raised by the hands of those who Ignored their poets Ignored their heroes Gave into their politicians Gave into their businessmen Despite the literature, the films, the speeches, the songs they left us of their rebellion. Our generation. A generation of boys who could stand up for their principles. A generation of girls who could stand up for their perfect love. Rejecting the failures of those who Forgot what they saw in the peace of the rose-colored horizon Forgot the revolution that seemed imminent upon the changing of the sun to stars Gave into the machinery and technology of the modern world Gave into the selfishness and capitalism of retirement funds But we have none to model it off of. Not our parents Not our politicians Not our businessmen Not our technology, We have only ourselves; More than we could ever need. Written 09/01/09
