Snoetry 2011 was a record breaking 150 hour poetry reading that took place in Elyria, Ohio in February. It was an affirming experience, as many of us met and shared poetry as a community and bonded through our love of the craft and performance. Snoetry brought together dozens of poets, and was shared with the world through a live web stream. As poets read, viewers were able to interact online, commenting and encouraging. In honor of Snoetry, we are pleased to add new tracks to our audio poetry section from many of the participants. We will add more soon.
-We need about 15 contributors, depending on length, to contribute their mp3 tracks by email or cd. Send to Lynn Alexander at lynnalexander@fullofcrow.com.
-Please identify the email as mp3 intended for FOXFIRE. Describe it. Who you are, etc.
-Please get them sent by May, 2011.
-This will be presented online along with art, text, bios, etc. so you can send the text of your work or bio information if desired.
-Photography, art, other items welcome. Digital.
This project is open to anyone, anywhere, and if you are interested but aren’t sure how to proceed- just email and we can figure out a way to get you involved. And as always, please pass this on to anyone who might be interested, your support is appreciated. ~Lynn
Because of changes at BTR, including new premium costs and show limits, Crow Radio and the Poetry Hour will be on hiatus until we settle on an alternative or rethink our existing methods.Thank you so much to the writers and performers that have been guests and callers for our open mic sessions and poetry and fiction shows.
In the meantime, we will continue to pursue audio and podcast projects and will focus on archiving the interviews and readings that we already have, and add new audio tracks to the site.
If you have an audio to send, please inquire with Lynn Alexander at lynnalexander@fullofcrow.com. If you might be interested in helping out with audio and video or want to develop a project that is limited or ongoing, just email and describe your idea.
This has been a crazy summer, but we are back with our weekly poetry show and hope that you will listen in or participate in one of our “virtual open mic” call in shows. The Crow Poetry Hour takes place on Sunday evenings, at 10 p.m. EST. Each week we have featured poets, who read and discuss their work with Lynn Alexander, show host. On the first Sunday of the month we devote the hour to call in poetry, all welcome, all styles, uncensored. Also monthly- 1st of the month on whatever day it falls on- is the Blink Ink Fiction hour where callers are invited to read short fiction.
You can always look under the “Upcoming” tab on the left to see the schedule of shows and featured guests, and you can check them out in archives as well. They are often added on the sidebar, and can be downloaded in mp3 format. If you have questions, please feel free to email anytime: lynnalexander@fullofcrow.com.
On August 13, we will have poets Hosho McCreesh, Chris Cunningham, and Harry Calhoun. On August 29, we will feature poet Bruce Lader, author of “Embrace” and “Landscapes Of Longing”. Note: You can reach Bruce at bridgesbl@aol.com to ask about his poetry.
On September 1, we will have our monthly fiction show, and Michael Solender will be on to talk about his new chap and hopefully read some of his work and talk about what’s new at The Not. Note that that it is an hour earlier than the Poetry Hour’s usual time of 10 p.m. Fiction starts at 9 pm. And on September 5, we will bring back our virtual open mic call in hour, all welcome to call in and read!
You can “sign up” with a phone number if you want to be introduced, but spontaneity is also welcome.
