The Mote: A 19th Century SF Prose Poem
Update: 2024-08-27
Description
Pioneering Canadian poet Bliss Carman included this fantastic prose poem in his breakthrough 1894 collection "Songs from Vagabondia." Is it the slightly intoxicated wonder-talk of two tipsy young men, or the account of two angels playing with the universe?
That Carman seems to have designed that blurring makes for an interesting 19th century SciFi vignette which I perform today.
The Parlando Project combines various words (mostly literary poetry) with original music in different styles. We've done over 750 of these combinations, and you can find them at our blog and archives located at frankhudson.org
