Get Your Orality On.

Drawing by Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz, author of Working Class Represent.

-- Get On The Griot Trail with Bob Holman and Papa Susso in West Africa. Mr. Holman is traveling around Africa with his griot pal Susso to film endangered languages.

-- While you are getting your orality on, check out the online Walter J. Ong Collection at Saint Louis University.

-- Play this clip of Lowell Fulson at full volume and get your grind on something.






-- I'll admit it:I have every version of Ron Mann's 1982 documentary Poetry in Motion: VHS, CD-ROM, DVD, LaserDisk.  Get this clip on, by the collective sound poetry group The Four Horsemen, remains a favorite.  (It's out of sync, I know.)

-- Get your Poetry magazine on with its November issue, with a Visual Poetry Today section edited by Schenectady resident Geof Huth.

-- I'd be remiss not to get my self-promotion on and link to this post of group sound poems composed by my students last Spring at The College of Saint Rose.
