I spent the weekend listening to the Buk Hostage CD (thank you Roni) and read the poetry review posted today (thank you Scar) then found this in the NYT today
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/13/magazine/13audience-t.html?pagewanted=5&_r=1 (all of this while at work too!)
I thought as poetry readings worked for BUk (insert any poet) couldn't this interaction work for poets too, or more to the point could the most media/culture savvy poet have the best chance of securing an living from their work by using this described medium to reach an audience(regardless of their talent).
I then thought how an enterprising media savvy person could offer to manage a community of like minded persons who have don' have media skills but talent.
it seems the publisher/promoter label may be shifting merging. We cn debate about whether this is a good thing or not...still this new interaction between artist and audience exists and (I think) artists have an obligation to at least investigate the potential.
Thoughts?
