Poets of the East: Nayma Chamchoun and DA "Roarshock" Wilson - EPISODE #15

POE - Poets of the East - PART II - Guests: Nayma Chamchoun and DA "Roarshock" Wilson

POETS of the EAST: This final episode of the SUMMER of 2022 our visit with Nayma Chamchoun and DA "Roarshock" Wilson.

Each an exquisite poet, with a different melodic voice and sensibility. Nayma's work is deeply heartfelt and resonates with warm humanity that is charming and breathtaking.

Roarshock has a dry, wry sensibility and not only addresses a range of contemporary issues but when he reaches into his metaphorical bag of tricks he might reference a Jerry Garcia or a WC Fields. Or he might turn to technology or the famed Frisco Beat pantheon. You'll not only hear them stretch out a little, so you'll hear several of their pieces, but you'll also, learn a little about how they became the poets they are today. Give'm a listen.

He is a very interesting writer whose creative life runs from his early middle school days and curiously resurfaces later in life when letters he wrote to a former teacher resurface in his 6th decade of life.

Journey with us as we interview a colorful poet whose life ranged from a childhood in the streets of New York, a BAPTISM by fire in the jungles of Vietnam, later his time as an outlaw on the ragged edge of the law, and his late in life translation into a serious mystic from his years at a monastery and beyond.
