James Navé Twice 5 Miles Radio welcomes poet Glenis Redmond to the Twice 5 Miles Radio microphone.
Glenis and Navé explore the liberating idea that your artistic destiny belongs to you in this lively discussion. Glenis, a nationally recognized poet, understands well that her artistic destiny belongs to her, just like your artistic destiny. Best of all, Glenis is living proof that her hypothesis is true.
Glenis grew up in Greenville, South Carolina, back when adults encouraged proper young girls to maintain a demure profile which naturally included no loud speaking. Of course, when your artistic destiny belongs to you, and you're a naturally gifted spoken-word poet like Glenis, it's easy to imagine a bit of tension might emerge.
Glenis knew she wanted to be a poet from the start, but like so many young people looking for respectability, she confirmed for a while. She kept her poetry in journals, maybe read her poems to a few friends, quietly as she thought she should. But then, one day, Glenis said to herself, your artistic destiny belongs to you; now what are you going to do about it?
Indeed, my friends, Glenis Redmond did something about it. When you listen to this interview, you'll find out precisely what Glenis did and how well it worked out.
Besides telling you how she made her artistic destiny work for her, Glenis spends a fair amount of time in this interview explaining how you can make your artistic destiny work for you. She also lifts the idea that you don't have to forsake your current life to achieve your creative destiny. Guess what you can make it happy right there at your kitchen table, or while you're sitting on your porch, or in your living room a few minutes before you go to bed.
Finally, Glenis explains that you must commit to your destiny to make your artistic destiny work for you. Of course, Glenis explains, this means you must show up and do the work, but you can do it over time, in short or long stretches. Glenis believes that if you move in the direction of your artistic destiny, your artistic destiny will move towards you, a dance if you will. Enjoy the interview.
