"Thom the World poet is an old mate of mine from way back in my history. Even pre-dating Voiceprint, when I was running "Otter Songs" and Tom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth, Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded. It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied with in seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not? why not indeed!!"

TWO VOICES
AIPF Anthology Launch @Huston-Tillotson College
Each
voice wrapped sounds to share sans mike'
baby
cooed and then cried/mother poet placated
then
removed herself from the verbal sharing
(not
wanting to disrupt the reading)
Smiling
and stroking and singing to babe
cries
turned to hiccups and calm contentment
Then
mother rose up to read/passing baby to a passing poet
Transfixed,the
future watched,listened,absorbed with rapt attention
One
soul absorbing her origin/another reflecting
upon
the link between description and experience.Both beamed!
