Cloudy Day Art #67 - How Not To Market Yourself As A Poet
October 19, 2006
This poetry podcast was birthed from my thoughts about how poets market themselves. I then turned these thoughts inward and looked at how I market myself. It was a really freeing exercise, because I realized that I’m a terrible marketer. I think that a lot of us poets are.
Artists in general are not great self-promoters.
So, I decided to study my inactions and make them actions. I list five ways that we as poets fail to market ourselves. Why don’t you listen in and share your thoughts and experiences?

7 CommentsCloudy Day Art #66 - Second Sunday for October 2006
October 9, 2006
It’s another “Second Sunday” here at Cloudy Day Art. I’d like to thank every listener who has ever submitted a poem to this podcast. I really appreciate it!
There are two poems in this week’s show. The first was submitted by Julian Conway from over in London. Thank you, Julian! I really enjoyed your poem. Keep writing.
The second poem was one that I wrote entitled “She Makes Crop Circles”. Something slightly out of my style, but fun to write and read.
This week’s outro song is “Circles” by Porter Block.

At the end of the podcast I talk about the future of Cloudy Day Art and how it may affect the “regularity” of the show. Stay subscribed!

October 2, 2006
This week’s poetry podcast features a few great interviews I captured while at the National Book Festival here in Washington, DC with a specific focus on the presentation of six students involved in the Poetry Out Loud competition. Special thanks to Dan Stone and Paulette Beete for their assistance in setting up the interview. The poets were Jackson Hille, Riva Dumont, Ken Huffman, Chris Estevez, Kendra Holloway, and Shuqio Song.
I also had the opportunity to speak with the poet laureate of Oregon, Lawson Inada and to interview a great poetry fan who recited “A Silken Tent” by Robert Frost from memory.
Be sure to vote in Slam Idol contest #14. My poem “Hurricane” is featured!
Outro song:
“Summer Days Have Gone” by Steffen Coonan
