Watch now (4 mins) | Enjoy some ambient improvised music by yours truly with poetry reading. This edition: Stephen Crane and Charles Baudelaire. I find that I’m drawn to darker verse. Lines that echo thoughts we don’t say out loud, cries of the heart. Lines that speak to the larger machinations of the universe around us. Sometimes these lines swirl around in my brain and they just want to float. Not exist as song lyrics. Not stay stagnant on a page.
