Swimming in an Ocean of Words is both a new entertainment and a writer’s guide. In the old times of Blind Homer and The Iliad and The Odyssey – before writing – verse-poetry was a performance art. Overtime it migrated to primarily the printed page. I want to retrace that path and move in new ways from the printed page back to the performer’s stage, and to add to performance by creating more audience participation. Blind Homer was not shy and would have welcomed his audience into his poems.
