Poet's Return - The Poetry podcast

Episode Description: Jessica B. Harris may have been born and raised in New York City, but she has Tennessee roots through her father and has spent much of her life split between homes in the Northeast and the South – specifically New Orleans. For more than fifty years, she has been a college professor, a writer, and a lecturer, and her many books have earned her a reputation as an authority on food of the African Diaspora, as well as a lifetime achievement award from the James Beard Foundation. A few years back, Netflix adapted her book, High on the Hog: A Culinary Journey from Africa to America , into a 4 part docuseries. And I’m very proud to say that she’s a longtime contributor to Southern Living with a regular column called The Welcome Table. This episode was recorded in the Southern Living Birmingham studios, and Sid and Jessica talked about her mother’s signature mac and cheese, the cast-iron skillet she’d be sure to save if ever her house were on fire, and her dear friend, the late New Orleans chef Leah Chase.

Spoken word poet Caleb Miller White flew onto our radar at Theatre of Note's 2022 poetry slam, where he was a semi-finalist. Beyond impressed with his pieces and performance, we invited him as a featured poet in Towne Street's Theatre Sum Poetry at Stella Adler last July. Caleb is a writer, actor, and producer based in Los Angeles, CA and originally from Texas. His love of spoken word began in 2016 during a 5-year stint in New York City studying sketch writing and comedy improv. Since then, Caleb has cultivated a distinct poetic style, one he describes as "incorporating punchy rap, clever comedy, and intimate vulnerability to amplify his unique perspective and voice." @calebmillerwhite Pieces Caleb performs : Argumentative (18:56) P.K. (28:11) Daddy/Puppy (38:33) Poet's Return Exclusive! First time performing this piece live :) Music featured today: Pontorose in July by Gramatik hosts @philasocial Ron Johnson and @capnbooey Melissa Booey Sum Poetry footage can be found @townestreettheatre Ron and Melissa are published writers themselves.

Amberlee Clark was born in Dallas, Texas and has been performing since she was four years old. When she was in 3rd grade, she was cast in a school production of Into the Woods Jr. Though it was a very small part, that little taste of the stage was all she needed to know she wanted to be an actor. She has been pursuing that dream ever since. However, also at a young age, Amberlee discovered she had a natural gift for writing as well. For fun, she would write poetry, short stories, and one-act plays, but her focus was still always on acting. It wasn't until her senior year of high school under the tutelage of Jason Carney and the Young DFW Writers program that she finally developed her voice as a poet. These days Amberlee considers herself as storyteller. Not simply an actor or performer. She created Theatre of NOTE's poetry Slam (NOTE Slam), where she is making connections with poets all over Los Angeles. @suddenlysherlock @theatreofnote Pieces Amberlee performs today: Grown Up Birthday: (at 18:05) Summer Love: (24:43) Ode to Paperback Novels: (30:41) The Eating House: (38:19) Hosted by Ron Johnson @philsasifer and Melissa Booey @capnbooey and you can find us @poetsreturn on Instagram and Facebook Original music by Philasifer…

Yes we are BACK! Even more than being excited to be in a real studio together, we are glad to reunite in the city of angels after a summer spent on our own adventures, coming back together to create some poetic content for this community! It has been a chaotic three years and we're happy to reexamine our journeys as artists, professionals, and of course, as poets. Ron recounts his summer of traveling productions, and Booey recounts her summer of teaching artistry and writing. Ron: “I am out here with people who don’t have my back. I am out here with people that are out here for themselves…that are not versed in this art but they’re out here doing it because they’re taking opportunities and advantages because we’re just coming back from COVID.” “It went far beyond the artist’s capacity to create in the face of no agreement, and went into a place that was a lot more dark…and had a lot more to do with political posturing than about making theatre.” Ron discusses the "pre-amateur" level, and good companies desperate to hire. Amidst it all, there is still hope, perseverance and compassion among fellow actors and artists, and the collaborative nature of the art form continues to keep it alive despite skewed priorities. Melissa Booey discusses her time spent with teenagers during a grant funded conservatory arts program. Seeing the bravery in her students inspires the artist and the advocate in her: "We are all afraid. If Theatre does anything it teaches you how to articulate that fear, how to face that fear and even embrace that fear, so you can use it instead of letting it use you." Regarding both Theatre and the culture of Hip Hop specifically: "Once you see behind the curtain, you become a custodian of the culture." *Linda Ravenswood de Montano is the name of the poet and writer who translated "The Story of the Cactus" originally told in Nahuatl. *Poetry performed by Melissa Booey from her soon to be published book, "The Calamitous Chronicle of Mr. Livingston and Tiger Lily." Poem featured is titled "BLOODSTONE."…

This haiku, written by poet, novelist and essay writer Meredith Sandrik, describes how many of us feel in our careers and relationships. With smoke settling in the many valleys of our Wild West, we can’t wait for the skies to clear to discern our next adventure. The same goes for life: once you see the writing on the wall, there’s no going back. In the midst of uncertainty and confusion, we must find clarity to continue the climb, even if that means getting out of the jar altogether.…

Bridget is a 23 year old Utah resident who has been interested in poetry since a young age. Her interest has grown into a continuous passion, peaking thus far during Bridget's senior year of high school and again about three years after her graduation. Just before I hit record during our zoom interview, the poet disclosed a story about being accused of plagiarism as a thirteen-year-old, simply because her teacher didn't believe the poem she submitted could have possibly been written by her. Little did this instructor know or realize that adolescent writer Bridget had already established herself online, posting her poems to wattpad.com under the name "the karma bug." Proving that her work was her own, Bridget felt slightly insulted and flattered simultaneously, ultimately feeling empowered to pursue her passion as a writer and poet more fervently than ever. Ten years later, she is still writing, and her strong use of meter and rhymes mixed with prose, as well as her use of metaphor and imagery all combine to create a truly gifted young writer, who when asked about her thoughts on this artistic medium said: "Poetry is one of the most beautiful, soulful ways to express emotion as well as work THROUGH emotion, and I believe everyone should give it a shot!" We agree, my friend.

Joining us from the continent of Africa, Beauty, or Beauty in Words (b.i.w) is the pin-name of an up and coming anonymous online poet/writer, who is also the sole founder and creator of the Instagram page @beauty_in_words._ which has amassed a following of over 6,000 through Beauty's online presence and poetry. Her content varies from both short and long poems in both modern and traditional style, employing enjambment, irony, personification and other poetic devices to tell her sometimes allegorical stories. Her mesmerizing words are illustrated by other artists on the platform she has collaborated with and credited, further contributing to the online artistic community. Beauty's poems have been published in several print and online publications, including witchesnpink, Dizzie magazine, Twist in Time Literary Mag and Spoken Word Scratch Night. I have loved getting to know Beauty after our phone call over a year ago, and again being able to see her in person over zoom. I can't wait until we can do this in person! As Beauty said in the livestream, "that's when we'll know we've made it!" Although Beauty was nervous about this being her podcast debut, I wanted to include a bit of those pre-read/post-share nerves here because 1) we can ALL relate to those nerves! Like we say in this episode, vulnerability is HARD. But that's what makes it all the more rewarding to bravely share. 2) Beauty is one of the most endearing individuals I have had the privilege to meet, even virtually. I felt like it need to be shared with the world. Poems featured on this episode: A letter to a rejection letter I could, but alas it's me They bear a burden Thee to history Special thanks to @philasocial, co host Ron Johnson, @chadsby1993, @steffilouba, @mbooey, @beauty_in_words, and Adam Lucas for sharing his rad tunes.

In Part Two of the Season One Finale, Philasifer raps the other seven of the ten Milkcrate Monologues. His poetic influences combined with the message he's determined to share with the world make RJ Wayne's book turned stage play a piece of writing that needs to be seen, heard, and performed as an integral part of Hiphop culture. Here we listen to Ron discuss more about his roots, inspiration, struggles, and how he has overcome those struggles in order to create something that's bigger than all of us. Don't be fooled my friends, let yourself jump into the cypher and discover the truth within the system, while cultivating the power of collaboration, and most importantly, reiterating the necessity of storytelling now more than ever. ****** The Milkcrate Monologues by Ron Johnson (RJ WAYNE) AKA Philasifer ****** Pieces shared on this episode: ****** 1) INFINITE 2) 80 Life 3) Untitled 4) Somebody's Gonna Die Today 5) They Be Illin' 6) Poor Man's Front Door 7) Robots for Breakfast ******** Here we explore the heartbreak of growing up, the nostalgia of our childhoods, and the hand we're dealt before we're even born. The themes are potent and the realtability is palpable. As with the greatest rappers and Hiphop artists of all time, you have to speak the truth. Even if your voice shakes. But no worries about that, because Philasifer? He's definitely not shaky when it comes to spitting those truths.

Hiphop culture requires participation. RJ Wayne, (Ron Johnson) aka MC Philasifer, knows that more than anyone. Here is the first part of our SEASON FINALE! You'll get to hear about Ron's history from him, as well as how the Milkcrate Monologues came to be a play. Tune in for PART TWO with the rest of the 7 monologues recited by RJ Wayne himself, as well as a brief history of Towne Street Theatre, and a projection of where this amazing content is going next. Tracks recited by PHILASIFER tonight: 1) Don't give me that weak shit 2) Love or something like it 3) Marching to nowhere ********* HIPHOP is a culture of participation, accountability, and passion.

The Milkcrate Monologues is a play written by Ron Johnson, known in the acting world as RJ Wayne, and known in the rap world as MC Philasifer. Milkcrate premiered with the Towne Street Theatre in October of 2019 at Stella Adler in Hollywood. After getting to sit down with Ron, who was the mastermind, creator, writer, director, producer, AND a part of the incredible ensemble, he was kind enough to invite me to by a fly on the wall during their cast album recording. There, I got to steal away cast members between recording tracks during their first session in the studio, and with the gracious help of everyone involved, I almost got to sit down with the entire company of actors. I wasn't able to meet with every single member of the cast, which I would have loved, but I consider myself very fortunate to have gotten to speak with seven members of the Monologue crew. They shared their origins, their relationship with Hiphop and Hiphop culture, (which evolved after their education in rap, as given by Philasifer) and also shared how this piece has inspired them. Talking to each of them, I found that it has impassioned all of them to not only own their voices as rappers, but even more importantly, to continue participating in the dialogue. That is the most important thing that Ron stresses: that Hiphop culture is about respecting your responsibility to participate, enter the cypher, join the circle, and spit some truth. ************************************************************************* Now, to kick off our two-part season finale, here is the bonus episode where you get to meet these amazingly talented actors, profound poets, and steadfast proponents for truth. ************************************************************************* Original music by Philasifer "A Proper Introduction" © ************************************************************************* Cast of the Milkcrate Monologues (in order as interviewed on this episode) Shayla Riggens (Hudson-Williams)- MC SHAYTIME @shaylamicole1 Scotty Crowe- MC SEGA @scottycrowe Jacqueline Castaneda- MC LA MALCRIADA @post_moderngirl Cairo Spencer- MC SIR ELOKUENT @theelokuent8 Khaila Monet- MC KILLA KHAI @khailamonet Carlos Diego Mendoza- MC KID TENACIOUS @carlosdmendoza Akshaya (Akshe) Pattanayak- MC A.G.B.
