Cloudy Day Art #57 - Interview with poet Lamont Carey

July 23, 2006

Some of you may remember poet Lamont Carey from my recording of the open mic at Bus Boys and Poets (Show #36 released on January 26th).

Lamont contacted me recently, so I had to get him on the show to find out more about the man, including his poetical inspirations, and what motivates him to do the things he does.

We discuss his current CD “Imagine“, why he goes to open mics, how to capture the crowd, how to build confidence in your self as a performer, his upcoming appearance on the HBO series “The Wire“, and his non-profit organizations.

Lamont shares his poem “My Son” and performs a freestyle impromptu poem for the “Second Sunday” theme of “Summer”.
