Homecoming
from Homecoming with Jessica Hosted by Jessica Roemischer
Inspired by a sound recording of the renowned poet, Walt Whitman - a 36 second reading of his glorious verse recorded in 1888 - I find myself reflecting on the power of the human voice, of what it means to journey back through time - both historical and personal. Inspired by his reading, I find myself rummaging through my files, trying to find a poem that I knew I had to re-visit, a poem written in my teens, at the beginning of my own life's path. Now decades hence, I realize, that poem was prescient. Strangely and beautifully, what I wrote then has come to pass. Improvised piano music by Jessica Roemischer, including the original composition, "Haven."
