The Song of the Wahbeek: An Audiobook


Well, I finally did it. I made a recording of the entirety of Bromwell's "The Song of the Wahbeek." As I kept working with this poem, trying to understand it, and write a digest and commentary of it, I felt compelled to record myself reading it. This initially started off as a way for me to better engage the poem and really internalize it, and for me to listen to it in order to provide another means of absorbing the poem. But as I recorded it, I felt compelled to add music, sound effects, et cetera. It became fun. I really enjoyed putting this together.

Now, I want to share it with the world. So if you want to listen to me read poetry for three hours, click the link below, and if you want to read along, click the link below that.

I am putting together a video essay to accompany this poem. So stay tuned for that.
