Open Call for Audio Poetry

I am looking for a few good poets.

A few good poets who can talk the talk.

My weekly podcast show, FROM OUT OF THE CITY (available through my own site as well as via Apple's iTunes Music Store), I have decided to turn over for this week, to several gifted writers/readers. Who?

Well, that's the rub.

If you are a poet (or know one) and want to be featured, you need to contact E.J. at trojanhearse@cityoflegends.com ASAP and let him know you are interested. We will need the sound file(s) no later than midnight, EST, on Wednesday, January 25th.

I know a lot of poets who have stuff already recorded, laying around. Zillions more have ideas, but haven't yet flipped the "record" button. Here's your chance to get an audience or expand the one you already have.

Once we do the show, I'll set up a poll of listeners. The writer who wins the poll will be invited to do a full show with me in late February or early March.

Again, do not send the sound files immediately. If you have links to already hosted files, you can send them, but I don't want E.J.'s mailbox flooded with a few gigs of soundfiles. Tell us who you are, what you've got and why we should care.

The ideal candidate poet/poem is passionate, well-written and well-read, theme doesn't matter (although a mild bias towards romantic works is always there). You'll get a chance to intro the work, give your website (if you have one) and let our listeners hear you on their computers and iPods, and have a chance and even being featured on a show later.

So, get to work.
