Nic~ Thank you so much! Was exciting to hear one of my own poems in your voice. It seems odd to think someone would read a poem better than the poet him/herself could. But you just did!
I loved working with this poem, Michael, thanks for letting me read it. Taking the Whale Sound concept to the next level would feature multiple readings of the same poem, I imagine. Since each reader in a manner recreates each poem, that would theoretically result in multiple ‘new’ poems out of one original.

Great reading. I always enjoy your vision and your work Michael.
Thanks Amy. Haven’t seen you in like forever. Let me know when next time you are reading.
