Because a poem aloud is the rest of a poem on the page.

Because I teach college lit classes online and want a custom hoard of poems for distant students to hear read out loud.

Because I'd rather be writing, myself, but don't always, and reading aloud often makes me feel like writing.

And because you, friend, may discover something here that feeds your spirit or imagination a little bit.

So belly up! Listen and enjoy.
