Books are meant to be touched.

Poetry is meant to be listened to. Tel: (617) 850 9366

Each is an art form that should be experienced intimately and personally through our senses.

Touch, Listen explores the book as a tactile art object meant to be held, touched and physically interacted with, and its hypothetical content, in this case, poetry, meant to be performed and listened to. Separating the forms allows us to experience each one as an extension of our ideas, thoughts and feelings, as well as content to its own form.

April is national poetry month.

NY Times on LibriVox

We get a small mention in this article, in the NY Times (you probably need to register).

Yet another site that contributes to Gutenberg, LibriVox.org, uses volunteers to read public domain books, aloud, creating free audio books.

Trafcom Podcast on LibriVox

Posted on April 7, 2007 by | Posted in News, on the web | Comments: Comments Off on Trafcom Podcast on LibriVox

Nice interview with Donna Papacosta, communications guru, on the Trafcom Podcast. I met Donna briefly in Toronto at Podcamp, but this was the first time we got the chance to really talk.

It’s a wide-ranging talk about LibriVox and some other things.

Here is the: mp3 link.
