In our last piece I wrote about finding some old writing by my late wife who died decades ago. I was charmed by this poem, which was likely written while she was in college in the mid-1970s and studying writing with Howard Mohr and Phil Dacey.

I performed this a spoken word piece to my own music, and yes, yes it was rewarding to inhabit words she wrote after all these years.

The Parlando Project takes words (usually literary poetry) and combines them with original music in differing styles. We've done over 850 of these combinations. Year can hear any of them, and read more about our encounters with the words at our blog and archives located at frankhudson.org
