Attended a youth poetry reading last night with the notable poet BP McRae and an x English teacher Vincent; that was well attended. There was a slam poetry contest primarily in the genre of the personal narrative and a headliner, I believe they were all under the age of 25, though these days no one can be sure.
Poetry and technology and as the theorists predicted the medium
will become the message.
Now what could this possibly mean…
well first things first,
we seem to have put our trust in technology and growth…and so far, most would admit things are getting better, over the last forty years or
so…in terms of many personal freedoms for non white male people.
Many aspects of humanity have opened up…and nothings perfect
not the music, or the poetry,
maybe in the fine arts things are improving, maybe cinema, maybe theatre, multi media, mixing, repeating…
for sure a lot of strong minds will be pulled towards the mainstream, which is just beginning to have massive participation.
At the world council the usage of the internet is considered an essential human right.
Even on this blog
u can touch
any word
and see what it
means. Try this
Brian Brett.
Stop.
Go back highlight
the word
and it should say search.
Information is at our fingertips,
quite literally and here
in Vancouver it is sunny,
my stupid budgies are chirping
and the world is as she is…
here’s to a youth poetry movement…
