HEY, VENUS! RADIO

Spanning the Chasm

Hey, Venus! Radio Season 11 Episode 111

Do stones write poems? Just ask the twining roses who whisper Polish hauntology at the bend of the river. Making friends with the wind isn't so difficult, once you empathize with the linguistic roots from whence she casts her vapours. By the hand of the sphinx and the stars many dwellings, as the spiderweb spans the chasm with great appreciation.

Translation: The second week of October has begun, so build your pyramid on the moon and join us for recitations from Fernando Pessoa's 'A Little Larger than the Entire Universe' [translation by Richard Zenith]. Spitballs stick to the ceiling as we settle down into a mysterious reading from a well-known illustrated classic, offering a tender interlude for all ages.

Stay until the very end for hypnotic tunes by Etnobotanika, The Black Skirts, Damdamgugu, Lynda Dawn, Airiel, James Quinn, Jay Som and quite a many bewildering hymns from the archive. Welcome to Season 11 dearest Venusians.
