The Music of Poetry

A summer project of poets and musicians in blind collaborations! Every package will have a cd of poems read by the authors, each with a musical introduction composed for it. There will also be a chapbook of the printed poems, with brief biographical notes about the contributors. The pairings are:

Volume 1: Dennis McBride and Curtis Settino

Volume 2: Chris Ridenour and Timothy Horner

Volume 3: Amber Ridenour and Blair Vail

Once the poets were recorded in a home studio, the tracks were sent to the musicians, who wrote compositions based upon how each poem inspired them. Throughout the process, the collaborators never met.
