#TBT Words of Owls: Egypt [Live @ Cornerstone Festival 2012]

Welcome to another edition of #TBT here at Autumn Peal!

I’d like to introduce you to my friend Brenton AKA Words of Owls. I met him at Cornerstone at their final festival where we saw each other at the Impact Stage with my other friends. He did spoken word (which I’d like it if he did that again) at the time which was really good.

Feel free to download his record for free at http://wordsofowls.bandcamp.com.

Also, check out his current Acoustic/sadcore project Poor at http://notreallypoor.bandcamp.com.

Ospreyshire’s Katauta 52 Project Entries 2-4

For those of you not aware, I’ve been doing a weekly project with my Ospreyshire moniker.

Every week, I post a katauta poem with some minimalistic music to go with it. Here are entries 2, 3, and 4 which came out a while ago.

Feel free to follow the Ospreyshire blog at http://ospreyshire.wordpress.com.

Poetry Alive Highlights 2017

Here’s a nice change of pace from some concerts videos that I’ve done over the past few months.

This is a sample of the Poetry Alive 2017 event at the Gail Borden Library where the poetry group performed some of their works. This people are just so talented when it comes to being wordsmiths and doing different styles and genres of spoken word.

I would like to thank Michelle Kaczor for filming this. All I did was perform some of my poems and edit the footage.

Yes, that is a spoken word version of a certain Ospreyshire track in the video that I read.
