A sonnet from a series I've been writing about Alzheimer's disease, recorded as the LYL Band has traditionally done this kind of spoken word performance: live in the studio with the band's two poets improvising on their instruments as the poem is performed.
This kicks off your summer series where the Parlando Project will be doing things somewhat differently than we do the rest of the year. What kind of things? I'm not entirely sure yet. Our "usual thing" varies anyway, but it's generally performances of various words (mostly other people's literary poetry) combined with original music in differing styles.
