#24 - A birthday poem for ex-boyfriends everywhere
In this episode, I read a poem by Rachel Wiley - "Dry Cake, Wishes and Tap Water Dreams". Rachel Wiley is a performance poet and this poem is one sure to divide the world into two - all women and ex-boyfriends. It's a compilation of wishes each of which is rich with imagination and humour. The fun of this poem is in listening to it, so you must tune in now. Even better is to follow the YouTube link I share to her original rendition which is a slightly longer version of the poem. I read “On the birthday of the ex-boyfriend who told me I was too intense...”, from an Instagram handle I follow. This poem is special also because it was the first ever poem I recited on stage at an open mic, right before I read some of my own poetry. Come, join me and make your evening sing :) I read from the Instagram handle of StateOfTheArtOfficial - https://www.instagram.com/p/B0D1SzrFVbZ/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link And this is the link to Rachel Wiley reading this poem - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpJn7y8kT-w The host, Ravneet Bawa as - @one_third_above on Instagram @maikeya on Twitter Email: [email protected] Disclaimer: This podcast is created for sharing with friends and family, and only as a passion project amidst the Covid lockdown with no commercial interest.
