Poem for Peace in Two Voices

Calm came clear
of cloud
early one morning Calm come clear
before things started of cloud

Calm came at noon Calm come
A spring bird perched clear
on black bough of cloud
in blazing sun.

Calm came at night Calm come clear
stretching as cats do, of cloud
constant stretch and change.

Flowers brightened Calm come clear
as the house slept. of cloud

Now calm come Now calm come
in the face of clear of
brawl cloud

More about me

Sound poet Penn Kemp performs in arts festivals world-wide. Among her publications are 25 books of poetry and drama, ten CDs and six videopoems as well as Canada's first CD-ROM: sample www.myspace.com/pennkemp, http://www.mytown.ca/pennkemp/ and www.ditchpoetry.com/pennkemp.htm. In happy collaboration, Penn presents her Sound Operas live and archived on chrwradio.com/talk/gatheringvoices. Her latest CDs are "Helwa!", from Suite Ancient Egypt and Darkness Visible. Forthcoming is a DVD, Viva la Vida (de Frida Kahlo). Penn's fascination with Egypt led her to visit twice, once with other metaphysical teachers, and again as tour leader. An intrigue with ancient mythology has taken her on many such journeys, in search especially of Black Madonnas. The Association of Canadian Studies sponsored Penn's reading tours throughout India and Brazil. http://mytown.ca/poemforpeace/ includes the video of Penn's "poem for peace in many voices" and, in audio, many of 125 translations. Through Pendas Productions, she edits and publishes poetry book/CD combinations: see http://mytown.ca/twelfth/ and www.mytown.ca/vivalavida. The League of Poets proclaimed Penn one of the foremothers of Canadian poetry.
