Once again, Telescope presents another new work from our poet-in-residence, Melinda Antle, focusing on those moments when we find ourselves engulfed in darkness

The Poetry Nebula

What Did I Do

Fourth on our list comes Gazing Upon Her by an anonymous author, focusing on the inner struggle between desire, and morality.

Gazing Upon Her

Delving back to 17th Century England, pursued by a bear, Joshua Law presents to you a sonnet from the bard, William Shakespeare (April 23, 1564-April 23, 1616), widely known for such plays as Titus Andronicus, Macbeth, The Tempest, Much Ado About Nothing, and about thirty-five others, along with 154 sonnets. 
The first set of sonnets (1-126) address a young man, providing words of wisdom. 121, 'Tis better to be vile than vile esteemed, speaks of reputation and the dangers of prejudices.

Sonnet 121 ~ 'Tis Better to be Vile

Poet-in-Residence Melinda Antle presents a new work for your aural pleasure. Inspired by the play Thought, Word, and Deed by S.J. Clayton (coming sooner than never), Spoken delves into the conscience, and the affects of speculation and decisions.

Spoken

In this presentation, no performers were harmed... much.
The Poetry Nebula presents a forgotten poem by one of the most flamboyant, and notorious Romantic period writers: George Gordon Byron (aka Lord Byron)(1788-1824).
Best known for his works, Don Juan, and Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, Byron was chastised and celebrated for his aristocratic excesses. It is said that, while at Cambridge, he kept a bear as his own, citing that the bear was wild, not a pet when authorities went to reprimand him.
We can say for sure that nothing was really beneath him, as is the case with this poem. Happy April 1st

A Poem by Lord Byron

As Telescope takes a quick break while J.C. Law is involved with another project, we present this alternate take on Melinda Antle's What Did I Do, in which a glitch occurred during the recording process. We kept it because it sounded rather supernatural, and rather fitting for this piece.

What Did I Do (alt)

We return to The Poetry Nebula with Melinda Antle presenting an anonymous piece about sharing space with someone close; being there when we rise, but what about when we fall?

I Saw You There

The Poetry Nebula takes you back to Melinda Antle's first poem, Lost, as written in high school.
Two paths. Same DNA. This is about siblings going their own ways in life.

Lost

For The Poetry Nebula's penultimate episode for this year, we delve once more into the realms on anonymity, Melinda Antle presents for your aural pleasure "Mind's Eye," about that person always in our thoughts, keeping us going, even when we've hit the bottom.

Mind's Eye

Ron discovers the shadows on the wall and faces a choice: to live the life he has always wanted, or the life he has with the woman he loves. 

Living the Cave is an audio drama written with The Telescope Theatre Project, 2016.
