    You are a very busy person, and very 'into' the poetry business.I once asked how I would ever make a living as a poet. The answer was to get a job at Home Depot. End of my career as a writer.

    Instead of writing, I got to play in a major symphony and had my DAILY 'get-away' from the world--through music. So, as the some is written: To Each His Own......PEACE!

    Thank you Steve...Music is a beautiful gift...I loved singing in a symphony choir...but never for pay...not making a living on poetry..but it pays back my heart a hundredfold for the beauty of all life's experiences...thank you..bkm

    Barbara,
    I enjoyed the podcast immensely! Your voice is poised and confident; exactly what I expected it to be like. My favorite reading was the Black Madonna. Although, I previously read it on your blog, it did not move me as intensely as it did today, listening to you recite it (and by “move” I mean goose bumps and tears.)

    When the podcast first started, I was disappointed that on your blog you hadn’t linked to the poems you recited because I thought it would be nice to read along.

    However, as I listened to you read (and
    especially when you read Black Madonna), I was thankful that you didn’t provide the links because it would have only distracted me from the power and impact of your spoken word.

    As an aside, the song The Blessing by Celtic Woman played on my computer immediately following the podcast and I thought, “What a nice song Becky chose to close out this podcast.” But, next I realized that it was actually the next song in my playlist, which is alphabetized (Barbara comes right before Blessing in my song list – which I don’t consider as a coincidence ;)

    Barbara, I listened to the podcast as well and especially liked the Black Modonna piece. Also want to thank you for mentioning the Red Shoes project. I am taking part in it as well.

    Barbara, that was wonderful listening to your lyrical voice so wonderfully clear and paced. It brought the words to life as only the poet's voice can; another voice would give different interpretations and stresses that would not be the intended.

    Thanks also for mentioning Catapult to Mars before reading your poem Highland Visitation. For those looking at this comment the link for your poem is http://catapulttomars.blogspot.com/2011/01/highland-visitation-by-barbara.html

    Do you think Becky could send me a clip from the podcast with just your reading of Highland Visitation and I could add it to the post on my site?
