"Gathering Voices", CHRW 94.9 FM features two Sound Operas that sprang from my book of poetry, Trance Form.

P.K. Page writes in her preface: “Trance Form. Its title prepares you. For metamorphoses. For multiple meanings. Trance-verse? Born of trance-illumination? Its tableofcontent prepares you too. For homonyms, puns, complicated word play in the tradition of middle-eastern poetry: mattermater, moonphase, bonepoems. Logic trance-ended; matter trance-muted blown thru and out the other side of reasonTrance Form is an intricate book. It rewards attention. Read it with three eyes. Although two will do”.

Sound Opera is a new form I developed with musicians in performance & recording over the last three decades, in a desire to lift poetry off the page to the stage. Sound Opera is based on text but it expands poetic possibilities to include voice, music & movement, to express narrative when emotions burst the seams of print.

Soundly,
Penn
