Dead Letter Radio features “Imagine the Moon as Companion”
I’m truly honored today to hear another of my poems read by Taize Jones on Dead Letter Radio. This time out, Taize employed his vocal talents to interpret “Imagine the Moon as Companion” on Episode 41 of the program. You can find it right here — my piece begins right at the seven-minute mark.
You can also find the episode on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Listen Notes.
Dead Letter Radio remains a unique online venue for writers and listeners — its tone and atmosphere are less like those of a podcast and more like sitting down, relaxing and reading aloud with a few good friends. For me, it’s one of the best things on the net.

“One crown is lacking, Prospero …”
One crown is lacking, Prospero,
My empire is my own;
Dying Alonso does not know
The diadem Antonio
Wears in his world alone.
— Antonio’s refrain, from W.H. Auden’s The Sea and the Mirror
