Slowly Dying, Poetry Reading by DCP (plus interview)

Watch Poetry Reading – SLOWLY DYING


Poem read by actor Jason Martorino

Interview with Poetry Writer DCP:

1) What is the theme of your poem?

2) How would you like people to respond when they read or watch your poetry reading?

3) How long have you been writing poetry?
