A very respected Spokane actor and director, Michael Weaver (no relation), retweeted about the opportunity on Twitter and I entered later that day. He’s been an online cheerleader as I’ve gone through the process. The feedback would have been helpful even if the play wasn’t selected for the festival. In particular, WILDsound recommended I take another look at the character of Sloth and stretch him beyond my initial concept as just a really sleepy guy. Overall, it was supportive feedback that showed someone else thinks there’s something here worth pursuing. Which is invaluable as a beginning playwright.

The Things We Do To Fish – Poetry Reading by Paul Tapp
Its presence. Poetry is a private business. You write it and keep it to yourself. Poetry is a state of mind that manifests in writing down compressed thoughts. Poetry writing is cathartic. WILDsound is a collective of like-minded thinkers. We who write and secrete our deepest thoughts no longer feel so alone. WILDsound is more than sound. It is light. A new bright star in the eternal heavens that beckons travellers. To hear somebody else read one of my poems will be a little piece of epiphany speaking from the ether.
