word to word salad… yo.

March 26, 2009 by openchannel 9 Comments

Word salad is an extensive and eclectic online archive of poetry (podcast and other audio, blogs, links, orgs, etc).

The site’s Paul Baker does a weekly radio show of writers performing their own work. He calls it “a serial poem in audio form.” Each show brings a new “sound collage that results from a series of determined and chance operations.”

As if you needed another reason to visit… he’s been playing some tracks off my CD All Over the Road. Sweet! I’m in some very good company including Suheir Hammad, Diane di Prima, Jack McCarthy, Charles Bukowski, George Oppen… and hey, that’s just the tip of the ice berg. I’m quite honored… thanks, Paul!

Such a great combination, a synchronicity of randomness. Listen while you do the dishes. While you brush your pets or paint your toenails.

Below are the links to the playlists. You can listen by clicking the link “Listen to the Show” at the bottom of each post:

MARCH 5 PLAYLIST
includes bern porter & mIEKAL aND, caroline bergvall, evgenij kharitonov,

    I have indeed. Twice, but I do hate to boast. The best thing about Paul A Baker is that he is immune to schmoozing. A truely independent mind, which is why it is meaningful and cool to be included in his broadcast. Shalom!

    I was surfing around and noticed you’d also left Blogger, about a month after I did. Hope you’re liking WordPress as much as I am … stop in and say hi to Trevor!

    Yes! I’m alive!

    I’ve started at least 4 blog posts this week, but keep getting distracted.
