Cloudy Day Art #71 - Andrea DeAngelis
January 15, 2007
This week’s poetry podcast features an interview with poet and singer/songwriter Andrea DeAngelis of the band Makar.
We discuss her thoughts on poetry, poetry workshops, her inspirations, and her band.
I asked her two bring two poems:
- A poem that she wrote during a time of great joy.
- A poem that she wrote during a time of great sadness.
Andrea also shares her poem “Erase Stick” which was later turned into the song “Erase Face” that is on Makar’s current album “99 Cent Dreams“. I play the song at the end of the interview.

This was a fascinating interview and poetry reading. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The difference between poetry readings and poetry workshops is that with readings, the only audience feedback is praise; in workshops it tends to be pointed criticism. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. But I’ve been in stifling workshop situations; the solution is simple: get out!
Thanks, Robert. I really enjoyed this interview.
Good point on the difference between poetry readings and poetry workshops. Never really thought of it that way…
