The Spirits in Poetry - A Spiritual Podcast

This episode is dedicated to how we can channel inspiration and let it flow through our being. I also talk about evolution because as artists, we are constantly evolving our sense of self. Evolution is the change that happens over time. The cycle of death and rebirth that keeps us dynamic. It’s also a good topic because this is my last episode published via Anchor. I will be taking a hiatus from podcasting as I revamp my work and invest more in my sound equipment. I will be back March 2020 with a new sound. Follow me on Instagram: jorgequintanapoetry for more information. May peace, love, and blessings find y’all all 2020.

This episode breaks down fear in two parts: the fear of writing and the fear of sharing written work. Sometimes it’s terrifying sharing pieces of ourselves. It’s safer to stay in our comfort zone where we are safe from judgment; however this protection can become its own prison. Using Kendrick Lamar’s song “Opposites Attract,” Lamont Carey’s Poem “She Says She Loves Me,” the folk story of the scorpion and the frog, and my own personal poem, I deconstruct the root of truth and why it matters to be honest. Much love to all those who are tuning in, thank you for listening. You can follow me on Instagram @ jorgequintanapoetry

This episode breaks down expectations and their origin, how exactly we develop them. Pulling from my own experience of managing my expectations, I cover the importance of letting go of what we expect to be and what we expect to do and instead focus on the present. Thank you for your support and love especially as I continue to test out microphone settings and organization formats.

In this episode, we cover all the elements that compose the poetic voice: rhythm, diction, rhyme, imagery, and tone. We also cover the role that authenticity plays in the development of the poetic voice through the concept of ‘The Duende,’ and the way it impacts listeners. As usual stick around to the end for some poetry!
