Poetry Live and Broadcast

Torriano visits the Global Café

On 14th and 21st December 1998, John Rety of Hearing Eye Publications and the Torriano Poetry Readings, and Peter Howard organised an experiment in Internet Poetry Broadcasting.

Using facilities, technical expertise, and excellent coffee provided by

The Global Café

a group of poets broadcast a reading over the Internet via RealAudio.

Some of the poems read are reproduced here. Most of the winter solstice readings now have RealAudio recordings (though at rather low level). Click on the speaker icons to hear the poets reading their work.

Choose from the practice session broadcast on 14th December 1998, or the winter solstice broadcast of 21st December.
