Featuring Tere Joyce! The Pasadena Poets of Santa Catalina Library! Don Kingfisher Campbell! Joshua! Coco! Mr. Scott! CaLokie Carl Stillwell!

Fun, SHORT show, featuring a brief, but botched interview with my friend and poet Don Kingfisher Campbell. We'll hope to finish our interview and POEM next week, a Christmas/Holiday episode (Comedian Tere Joyce planning to stop by for an X-mas poem) -- Dickenson, Andrew Young, John Ferguson, Watkins Harper, Maya Angelou, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Dylan Thomas and Frost

What an honor to have the voice, poetry and talent of Sarah Berkeley Tolchin on my show this week. I put her to work reading from her latest book of poems, "What Just Happened." (Sentient 2016) -- I learned a lot, I hope you will too. Be inspired, celebrate good times and know they don't exist without overcoming life's challenges. Mansfield, Wilcox, Longfellow are back as well, Angelou and Frost to end with thoughts of Lao Tzu, Jorge Luis Borges, and oneness of the infant silence to which we all sail... ♥️♥️♥️

Escucha bien!!! Óscar Rodríguez and I talk about and present our poem, "Espanglish"

I studied this time for a tight, sweet show of poetry. Longfellow, Frost, Wilcox, Gascoigne, Tolchin, Ferguson, Andrew Young and I express our love for Earth and life through verse, have a listen!!!

Be with me, I need a friend.

I'm back with a new episode of Bill's Poetique!!!

Bill challenges norms, bills and teds. Comedy can wait; anything to surprise, stir up and wake the soul, slumbering peacefully blissed until a word from Longfellow, Frost or Irish poets wounded by war.

We live on stolen land, so let's talk about it. Robert Frost lives in Andrew Young, Longfellow and Donald Trump?

Katherine Mansfield. 'Nuff said, She's sexy, cute, smart and playful, imaginative, sultry, hot and mystical!! Let's be with her, time machine back to 1910, hang out, lay naked on the grass, and love... I throw in two of my own poems, talk Wife of My Youth and "Circumcision." Peace from the Regenerative Collective breeds music, and we dance into tomorrow in love with words and possibilities... ✌

Bill introduces himself as the greatest poet of all-time. No. Just kidding. (It's true) We talk about poetry, art, publishing, and why do it all. It's fast, so don't blink. Just kidding (no I'm not). First podcast here!! I hope I like it!! (You there?)
