Odyssey scene painting by JordaensReadings of Odyssey Book 1 (Solot), A.M. Juster’s East African Proverbs, and Stellinga The Society January 26, 2024 Classical Poets Live, Homer, Poetry, Readings 10 Comments . . . Andrew Benson Brown has had poems and reviews published in a few journals. His epic-in-progress, Legends of Liberty, will chronicle the major events of the American Revolution if he lives to complete it. Though he writes history articles for American Essence magazine, he lists his primary occupation on official forms as ‘poet.’ He is, in other words, a vagabond.

Flott January 26, 2024 What a delight, to HEAR poetry. Reply Michael Pietrack January 27, 2024 Agreed, poetry was originated that way and remains to be the best way of experiencing the work. IMHO Reply ABB January 27, 2024 Doubly agreed, glad you guys like. James Sale January 27, 2024 These video shorts are so good, and especially the one on Homer: the voice is compelling and the visuals really add to the language. Well done. A great achievement to help poetry attract a wider audience. Reply Michael Pietrack January 27, 2024 We have to meet the common person where they are. And where they are is on YouTube! Reply ABB January 27, 2024 Assimilating the screen-starers is essential to World Poetical Domination. Michael Pietrack January 27, 2024 Thank you for doing this work for the sake of poetry, ABB. The world of poets thanks you. Reply ABB January 27, 2024 Appreciate your appreciation! Reply Mark Stellinga January 28, 2024 Andrew, what it takes to build these little words-of-wonder is intimidating for the average special-affectors (like myself). These are a very welcome addition to any poetry site. Great job, whiz-kid! Reply ABB January 28, 2024 Thanks Mark! Sorry I forgot to inform you that piece went up. A bit behind on things. Stay tuned for another one over the next few weeks here. Reply Leave a Reply Cancel ReplyYour email address will not be published.CommentName* Email* Website Notify me of follow-up comments by email.
