" Lick the star " by Sofia Copeland, personally the black and white perspective points it out more. It's as if this is what she would want her imaginary world to look like. This somewhat relates to one of the Keri Smith's prompts that involves that actual photo and images that make her imaginary world come to life. That seems to be through a black and white perspective. Which it seems like not a perfect world as most would think a world away from reality would be but this seems to have a yin and yang type of vibe. Take the bad when its bad and you take in the good when everything is fine. The narrator seems to be a guide for us as we enter her imaginary world or the world that she lives in. We are getting other point of views but we still are reflecting back to what the Narrator is telling us. Sophia seems to have a lot of interesting characters within her database which then were transported into her video essay. These characters seem to be dark characters who have...

Regarding my podcast it was very interesting to create. It was the first time ever that I recorded myself speaking with others about something that I’m passionate about. Usually I hate hearing myself after I recorded my voice but that was a comfort zone I had to get out of. Developing a script for the podcast was cool as well but it helped a lot, so I might not sound scripted. Other than that, I felt like I did alright regarding dialog and just to keep things interested in the listener. As there aren’t many podcasts about poetry, it was great to be a part of a genre that there should be podcast for. Many people might think it’s just people reading poetry, but its more than that. Connecting to any who is interested in poetry is the goal. I think the podcast format is not necessarily the best format for poetry, but it can be something that can be a part of hopefully the expansion of this genre on all platforms. When working on this podcast it was very easy to find people to inter...

For the genre podcast that I chose, is poetry based that will include poems being read not only by those who are interested in poetry but others who aren't familiar. Specifically coming from college students perspectives. Basically students who are majors besides within the humanities, this provides a different point of view that not only humanity majors are familiar with poetry. Its to prove that poetry is never completely lost in our memories. The podcast title is "Long Lost poetry" because as we went through schooling hearing nursery rhymes and learning about various famous poets, somewhere within our minds we can dig deep and pull out a significant poem that pointed out to us most. To give credit where its due, I was influenced by two poetry podcast called " Faber poetry podcast" and "interesting people reading poetry" . The styles of these of course will show within my own podcast that I created. Therefore, multiple voices besides my own will be ...

As I am developing ideas to construct a podcast, the basis of my podcast will follow along the lines of poetry. I want to use poetics because this is where my interest are., When i searched for poetry podcast, I found Faber poetry podcast which was on spotify. Its produce by Rachel Allen, Jack Underwood, and Hannah Marshall for Faber & Faber. The first episode they read poems from Ocean Vuong and various other poetic authors. The two guest that they brought on were told to bring an important item with them. I liked this aspect of it because it gives a back story to the writers work and shows why they have the writing style they use. This gives a deeper meaning to poetry, that it's not the writers work that makes the writer but i'ts who they are that makes the work.  I love the intro as it has a chill vibe to it. I think reading the poems aloud really shows the effectiveness of the language of poetry. It offers a modernization of poetry and makes it easy to listen to.  Its...
