about

About Poetry and Poets

“It is difficult
to get the news from poems
yet men die miserably every day
for lack
of what is found there.”

by William Carlos Williams

Poetry is food for the heart and soul, a catalyst for the imagination, and a powerful tool for transformation. A poem can sooth or unsettle, confirm or challenge. Pushed to the periphery of mainstream Western culture, poetry and the poetic view are subversive and essential.

The episodes on this album were recorded in collaboration with Joshua tree-based poets and others to celebrate National Poetry month (April in the USA).

“By teaching men to speak well, men learn to speak up and out.” ---James Hillman

about

Dr. Catherine Svehla Fort Collins, Colorado

Storyteller, scholar, artist, & desert activist with a PhD in mythology & depth psychology.

Myths & stories contain the wisdom of the human race. I want to know how we can keep the mystery in life alive? How can myths connect us to a larger sphere of being & meaning?

Many of these tracks are Myth in the Mojave programs that first aired online on Radio Free Joshua Tree.

Thanks for listening. ... more
