Readings of poems, I guess. My name is Lori. I read. If you enjoy and would like to give me a java jolt buymeacoffee.com/lorigomez_apoetrychannel
"It is the function of art to carry us beyond speech to experience." ~Joseph Campbell, Sake & Satori
I understand that viewers on RU-vid have a reputation for being total dickheads, but I am under no obligation to uphold the average RU-vid troll's grand tradition of giving people who provide them with free content a load of shit.
You don't like something? What do I care? I have no idea who the hell you are. No way of qualifying your opinion and no interest in doing so.
Hit the back button, buddy, navigate your ass out of here, but spare me the invective because all you will have accomplished is being blocked and getting your comments deleted. My channel is not city hall. It is my Queendom.
Of course, the trolls will love this warning. But that's okay, my ban hammer is strong. Let's give them some much needed attention.
The beginning of this dark novella, so perfectly read as though you had written it yourself. Indeed, as though you were telling the story from memory as from your own experience. Your talent for this is almost other-worldly, an evolved art-form in itself ❤
I expressed my appreciation for you interpretation of Fernando Pessoa's 'The book of disquiet' recently and now I find you've done another one of my favourites... Next in queue is T.S. Eliot and his 'Four quartets' - in my humble opinion the greatest poetry ever written. Looking forward to it (although I don't think you can surpass Alec Guiness' interpretation :D). Please know, that even though you're not getting the attention you deserve, there are people like me, who yearn for this type of content :)
Haha! No need to compare me with anyone. I read for my own pleasure because I enjoy intoning beautiful thoughts and sounds… it’s a form of meditation… I’m not trying to compete with great actors/narrators. I am neither. I am just an avid reader. Hell, Eliot actually reads his own stuff pretty well. The Four Quartets is brilliant poetry and rhetoric. Eliot was really showcasing his mental faculties when he wrote it.
The Weary Blues Droning a drowsy syncopated tune, Rocking back and forth to a mellow croon, I heard a Negro play. Down on Lenox Avenue the other night By the pale dull pallor of an old gas light He did a lazy sway . . . He did a lazy sway . . . To the tune o’ those Weary Blues. With his ebony hands on each ivory key He made that poor piano moan with melody. O Blues! Swaying to and fro on his rickety stool He played that sad raggy tune like a musical fool. Sweet Blues! Coming from a black man’s soul. O Blues! In a deep song voice with a melancholy tone I heard that Negro sing, that old piano moan- "Ain’t got nobody in all this world, Ain’t got nobody but ma self. I’s gwine to quit ma frownin’ And put ma troubles on the shelf." Thump, thump, thump, went his foot on the floor. He played a few chords then he sang some more- "I got the Weary Blues And I can’t be satisfied. Got the Weary Blues And can’t be satisfied- I ain’t happy no mo’ And I wish that I had died." And far into the night he crooned that tune. The stars went out and so did the moon. The singer stopped playing and went to bed While the Weary Blues echoed through his head. He slept like a rock or a man that's dead.
The collection I’m reading from. I will slowly but surely record the entire book antilogicalism.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/hemingway.pdf?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR16C4RYFoLbgpQz3dv25AEG4QCgpxvijyKlDaFhZ_4O1Bsb-jPp8GaOWE0_aem_Gl0PHvVIfOzjPJ1xtdKzOw
The man was a scientist who lived the way scientists used to live using himself as an experiment under controlled circumstances keeping an accurate entertaining and understandable record of the work. Made available to those who would follow and continue the work that his fathers fathers fathers had been continuing for their fathers fathers fathers the way the people who built those pointy buildings along the river they call the Nile until the gold and all the other things the river gave them over thousands of years reached an end at Alexandria Not possible to read this personally with the same intonation and emphasis that brings to life what seems to be a human being talking to other human beings about being a human being in the most personal way that any human being might attempt to engage another. Wikipedia pins the occupation writer on the man and it seems that writing was only the vehicle used for capturing the science he was participating in as a Huxley in the Huxley family in the Human family. Now on the permanent record until someone pulls the plug on your tube. You have done 8,000,000,000 people a big favor here for sure. Bravo and thank you very much this just turned up the light a little
