Podcast: Ms. Lyric's Poetry Outlaws
Episode: Episode 16: A Grrrrr on The Poverty of the Poetic Ecology
Description: I begin by reading a series of fragments from the ancient satirist Juvenal to show how old this type of grrrrrr is ;) Then I chat to myself in my yard (or maybe all the birds care) about the disparities and insufficiencies relating to big prizes/arts admin pay vs the every day impoverished maker's reality. And end with a quote about the whole notion that if you love something you should never ask to be paid fairly to undertake it. Say what? Let's shift the system and make it different! This poet says yes.
