Whale Sound

Whale Sound is now closed

It’s been a tremendous year and incredibly rich learning experience, but it’s time to move on to other projects. These archives will remain in place.

Warmest thanks to all those poets who gave permission for their poems to be read here, all those who participated in the group reading sessions, all those who stopped by to listen, and, most particularly, all those who sent in third-party submissions.

Best wishes,

Nic Sebastian

- We coordinated and participated in 8 group readings
- We established Voice Alpha, a group blog focusing on the art of reading poetry aloud for an audience.
