Poetry, Writing and Identity with Poet James Navé

Welcome to Twice 5 Miles Radio, a podcast sponsored by The Imaginative Storm Writing Project, www.imaginativestorm.com. I'm your host James Navé, www.jamesnave.com. Greetings, James Navé here. Today, I unpack ideas around writing, poetry, and identity on this solo show. I begin with Emily Dickinson's poem titled I'm Nobody. Do you think of your writing, poetry, and identity as evolving or fixed? Are you Somebody or Nobody? What does it mean to be a little somebody rather than a celebratory somebody? How can writing, poetry, and memorization add meaning to your identity? How do you deal with those self-important self-appointed somebodies you bump into now and then? Have you ever wondered why the spoken word movement enjoys so much attention today? How does memorization fit into writing, poetry, and identity? Thanks for listening. Enjoy the show.
