Warwick Radio: The Voice of Warwick, Rhode Island

A “trip” on the subway makes for a bizarro story!

You never know who's going to turn up in the stories on Elly McGuire's podcast, Shaking The Bushes—Yoko Ono, Jonas Salk, Richard Hatch (Richard Hatch?), even a former President, to name a few—as she shares humorous and often unpredictable autobiographical anecdotes and social commentary about living parallel lives in her "cozy" apartment in Manhattan and her childhood home in Warwick, Rhode Island.

What you think might be so different from residing in the biggest city in the world and in the smallest state in the union can actually turn out to be very much the same.

Author and adventurist Elly McGuire has traveled the world, rubbed shoulders with celebrated people, and is now "shaking the bushes" of her colorful past.

D.K. Mckenzie, Warwick poet, musician, and creator of The Poe Underground, explores the possibilities of combining the voice of the guitar with the haunting words and expressions of poetry.

In this episode, hear the poems Remembrance by Walter de la Mare and At Baia by Hilda Doolittle or H.D. accompanied by improvised classical guitar.

Remembrance

The sky was like a water drop

in shadow of a thorn,

clear, tranquil, beautiful,

dark, forlorn.

Lightning along its margin ran;

a rumour of the sea

rose in profundity and sank

into infinity.

Lofty and few the elms, the stars

in the vast boughs most bright;

I stood a dreamer in a dream

in the unstirring night.

Not wonder, worship, not even peace

seemed in my heart to be:

only the memory of one,

of all most dead to me.

At Baia

I should have thought

in a dream you would have brought

some lovely, perilous thing,

orchids piled in a great sheath,

as who would say (in a dream),

"I send you this,

who left the blue veins

of your throat unkissed."

Why was it that your hands

(that never took mine),

your hands that I could see

drift over the orchid-heads

so carefully,

your hands, so fragile, sure to lift

so gently, the fragile flower-stuff—

ah, ah, how was it

You never sent (in a dream)

the very form, the very scent,

not heavy, not sensuous,

but perilous—perilous—

of orchids, piled in a great sheath,

and folded underneath on a bright scroll,

some word:

"Flower sent to flower;

for white hands, the lesser white,

less lovely of flower-leaf,"

or

"Lover to lover, no kiss,

no touch, but forever and ever this."
