Another entry, another category launch. This time out it’s “Poet Makes a House Call” — living poetry, read aloud by living poets, then broken into a million billion digital pieces and transmitted into your brain. Using electricity.
PMaHC is delighted to debut with The World Is Loud, by Rodney K. If the sleepy town of Monkey Vortex had a gun-toting sheriff-with-no-name, except he actually did have a name, but not a complete name, just a first name and an initial where a last name might otherwise be. And he wasn’t all that partial to firearms or even crime-stopping, but — and here’s the key point — if he was one hell of a rockin’ poet with the ability to rewire the cosmos using words. Well: that fella would be Rodney K. Enjoy! And watch the skies, -CV

OK, It’s taken about four listens to follow what’s happening. Was I a powerslave sleeping through the corporate restructuring. The sleeper awakens! But perhaps I’m not conscious of all the subtleties. When is PowerSlave playing at SleepTrain? I’ll ask Wally.
It took four listens, but I now know I like it.
