Poetry has been defined as "words that want to break into song." Musicians who make music seek to "say something". Parlando will put spoken words (often, but not always, poetry) and music (different kinds, limited only by the abilities of the performing participants) together. The resulting performances will be short, 2 to 10 minutes in length. The podcast will present them un-adorned.How much variety can we find in this combination? Listen to a few episodes and see. At least at first, the two readers will be a pair of Minnesota poets and musicians: Frank Hudson and Dave Moore who have performed as The LYL Band since the late 70s.Influences include: Patti Smith, Frank Zappa, Carl Sandburg, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Don Van Vliet (Captain Beefheart), William Blake, Alan Moore, Beat Poets (Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Michael McClure, and others), The Fugs (Ed Sanders, Tuli Kupferberg), Leo Kottke, Ken Nordine (Word Jazz), Bob Dylan, Steve Reich, and most of the Velvet Underg

English poet Frances Cornford published this concise poem of jaunty dread when she was just 24 years old. I don't know if this is a "persona poem" or some kind of poetic exercise on her part. I can't assign any biographi
Here's another early 20th century poet singing a faery song. Instead of Yeats, this time it's the American poet Elinor Wylie with a poem called "Escape." When Wylie writes here of "a little house I'll build" in some magi

Here's William Butler Yeats with an early poem of his about age, and heritage; and youth, and wishes, as presented with some music I wrote and my rough-hewn voice. The Parlando Project takes various words (mostly literar
I had worked on setting this 1920 poem by Marianne Moore to music for a few weeks, but it wasn't until a couple of days ago that I had a shock of recognition: the words of this poem could be read as a comment on our own

I found this unpresupposing poem as the 5th one within a series of short poems by 20th century American poet Conrad Aiken called collectively "Variations." As the title suggests, Aiken often had musical forms in mind, an
