Hi Matthew, I cannot fathom why there has not been more response here about your podcast.
Speaking for myself, I have all kinds of reasons why I haven't followed up sooner to say what I think of your SLEERICKETS podcast (The name itself has a poem in it, based on your explanation of how it came to be)... But all those reasons (including births, a shoulder operation, gardening chores, et.al.) are just part of the army of procrastinators that seem to come out of hiding every time I want to say something in just the right way, using just the right words… And I go dumb.
I've listened to all four episodes. Each one is a deep riff/improvisation/rumination on things intrinsic to the art of poetry. Your stream of thought is like “the force that through the green fuse” of which Dylan Thomas speaks; the one "that drives the flower". The flower, in this instance, being the art of poetry. (Perhaps that's a bit hyperbolic, and not exactly the right simile, but still...)
My advice is: don't stop. Keep growing the concept. You're onto something. Manna! Manna! Manna! More! More! More!
