  • GP 214 - Poetry and Spoken Word

    Gerald and co-hosts Cheyenne Cockrell and Thomas Page consider how poetry and spoken word before an audience can both entertain and stimulate the creative process. And...

    • What IS the difference between poetry and spoken word?
    • Why do you think live poetry readings and spoken-word presentations have become so popular?
    • Radio shows and podcasts – particularly podcasts – of poetry seem to be gaining in popularity. Do you think this is a new opportunity for poets?
    • Have you ever tried to write poetry? Spoken word?

    Then we're joined by special guest, creative coach Terrie Silverman, who responds to:

    • How do you help people develop and investigate their stories – whether for the page or the stage?
    • How does your own work inform your teaching?
    • You seem to have a talent for drawing expression out of people who want to write but haven’t had much previous success at it. What’s the secret to getting it all to flow?
    • Have you ever found that someone’s work is painful, either to them or to the group? How do you deal with that?
    • Of the people who intend to write memoir, how often to you find it morphing into something else?
    • Is self-expression always therapeutic?
    • What are the challenges of performing your writing or your stories?
    • How can our listeners get in touch with you?

    And, as ever, there's lots of advice on how to get published, including the support resources at our website getpublishedradio.com.

  • GP 213 - Writing a Memoir?

    • How should you portray real-life characters who might be offended by their portrayals?
    • How is it that many memoir manuscripts are actually two books in one?
    • When do you need a developmental editor? A ghostwriter?
    • What real-life details will engage readers?
