Yeah, enough prodding from friends has moved me to make a 4 track spoken word EP. At this point, it is only an EP, which means I am writing and working on a full length. It also means this one does not have original music for the tracks. I am working with some other musicians to create some music tracks to back each of the tracks on the full length.
For now, I would be honored if you would like to grab the EP. You can sample it below, and you can grab it at
This is the first piece I had ever seen by Propaganda, and it had me hooked from the first word. I saw it at Catalyst West Coast, but this performance is from Catalyst Atlanta.
Love sat down with hate
and wondered aloud
“why do you hate me?”
Hate answered love
with another question
“why do you love me”
Both answered aloud
at the same time
“Don’t know! Just do.”
I have been trying to listen to more from Hillary Kobernick, though it is difficult to come across more of her material. I have only found two videos online to share. This is my favorite of the two, but my favorite piece I have heard from her is called “An Open Letter to Pat Robertson” (audio of which you can find at her site above) It is both incredibly well-informed and equally cutting. Enjoy!
Our tears are telescopes to heaven
Look through trembling lenses
for hope and deep senses
of home
“Forgiveness is the release of all hope for a better past.”
If we are only
trying to get to heaven
Christians are some of the most
selfish people on earth.
This poem by Anis Mojgani may be one of my, if not THE, favorite poem. I believe I have posted this before, but I do like the video this person has made out of it. If you never have heard this before, shake the dust. If you HAVE heard it before, shake the dust, again.
This is the poet I’m loving this week, and this poem is so incredible. At least get as far as the refrain about “HOLY” if you don’t watch (listen to) the whole thing…but definitely catch the whole thing. Its just fantastic.
