How to Make a CD: A Poet’s Perspective, Part I
Bob Holman’s notes on the genesis of his first CD: “First, make up poems for twenty-odd years... look on CD, like book, as a vehicle for Poem’s Wild Ride... How finished the book feels! unlike the ever-ongoingness of the poems. With a CD it’s different... Mind dances, under the headphones, to poetry on CD.”
