Here’s a really neat project that I’m pretty excited about!
I asked some of my friends to make recordings of themselves reading my poems. Quite a few thought it was a great idea and were more than happy to contribute.
The link here is the .mp3 of the first one I’ve chosen to present to you. You can click on it and just listen or right-click and save, if you want to keep it. It’s free!

By the way, if you want to help out and support more cool stuff like this, see my Patreon page, Magus72.
I’ll be posting them here, one at a time. I’ve had a lot of fun putting this together and I hope you enjoy listening to them.
The main thing I wanted to achieve here is get a variety of people, reading the pieces… in the way that they hear them.
None of the readers were given any prompts about how to read. A few people preferred to have something assigned to them and so I picked for them. But in most cases, they chose their own pieces to read.
This first poem is called “none” and it’s from my book in the current.
Our guest reader is Xander and he did a great job with it.

I’m posting the text, as well. That way, you can follow along or read it first, then listen or just listen and find out where it takes you… your choice. Enjoy.
none
mandala being nightmare…
nothing being curse…
still we strive for
something!
she cries
in her
elliptical
orbit
cycle of nothingness
somethingness
separation
dance
eros
chance
death,
arousal and
denial
correct,
of course
the role being
after all
seductress
how could one say
that she was wrong?
how could one argue
that anything
was ever
wrong?
polarities
cry of response
no avail
she is
in heat
hears
nothing
of my
dharma
portions of
infinity
etc.
no wrong
only difference
how must one
proceed in
seeking
to curse
the void?
