S1: It's time for Midday Edition on KPBS. Today's arts and culture show is a conversation about the genius of poetry in all its forms. I'm Jade Hyndman. Here's to conversations that keep you informed , inspired , and make you think. The host of PBS Poetry in America , tells us about the upcoming season.
S2: And so we kick off the season , the first voice we hear is that of maybe our most famous poet today , Amanda Gorman. And we we hear Amanda identifying with Phillis Wheatley , a child prodigy , uh , who began then in her teenage years to articulate what freedom meant and eventually wrote a poem , actually , still still as a very young woman that she addressed to General George Washington , reminding him what freedom might mean.S8: She calls freedom her her anxious breasts alarms women.
S2: In this season ? You can expect to hear from , uh , Henry Louis Gates , from David Axelrod. You'll see the apostle of happiness , Laurie Santos , who has a podcast on happiness , the great actor John Turturro , who's in our episode with Justice Stephen Breyer. Uh , you'll see Mark Morris , the fantastic choreographer in our in our episode on Frank O'Hara , along with the amazing musical musical duo Rachel and Vili. Because poetry , so much poetry is tied to other art forms.
S1: I mean , to see that in real time. It goes a long way into what your goal is here. Part of this , you're part of this greater effort , really , to bring a whole new generation into poetry. S12: I did check out your website , and one of the things I saw was a comment that said body language is the most eloquent of all.
S13: Yeah. So it's basically a structured improv. The piece is actually a lot more choreographed than people think. So there is an order of events between the arrival of the flock. You know , the shepherd shears one of the sheep later. He's he's going to milk , uh , one of the. Sheep and offer a taste of warm , organic fresh milk to the audience. All of these events happen chronologically.
S15: I'll straight up say it like you're not going to solve a mystery , because that's not how the real story went. And I treat this story with reverence because it's a huge part of my life and who I am. That's at the core of what the story is , is that being a kid detective isn't about solving mysteries. It's a way to look at the world , and it's a way to frame a world I see. I have never gotten through the pitch without crying. This is why I wanted you to start.
S12: All right , well , I want to thank you both very much for talking about Mr. and Mischief in your Wow production.S1: That was Beth Accomando speaking with Wow artist Jeff and Andy Croker of Mr. and Mischief , as well as David Dizon of Corpus out of Canada.
