Spoken Folk

For me, this is big. I am performing poetry with Tobias Sturmer on drums and Sam Twigg on dulcimer. We are responding to the call for new stories, new themes, new narratives for the world that’s coming. For many it is already there: “Immigrants overboard on dangerously small boats, we left these shores for those, or those for these, cowed, crowded, despised…” We are wandering folk. Our feet may soon be wet again. Spoken Folk has a website: https://spokenfolk.net

  • a website: Spokenfolk
  • and then an archive of texts and recordings.
