The Other Everything
"The Other Everything" is the podcast version of the journey that nudges us to dream and reminds us that life is more than what our senses can only suggest: there is more to life than what we see, hear, taste, touch and smell!Through a sonic excursion of predictable and unpredictable narrative via "spoken word", prose and song, we travel through the daily and not-so-daily places of culture, thought, emotion and imagination to find what is true and real and impossibly possible. "The Other Everything" podcast is one part of a growing project of the same name. Beginning with a book, found on Amazon, and music at Apple and Spotify (look for albums by Dave Petty). Visit our website: www.theothereverything.com. You will find our growing treasure trove of other writings, sounds, images and links connecting you to the work of creatives and "creativity connoisseurs" like you!

One of my favorite lines in a lyric is:
"Pay attention to the poet. You need him and you know it."
The poet often sees things and says things different from others. And while one might say she gets us into trouble, they can in fact get us out of trouble. I think I like this lyric line because I often have seen that I am ignored or dismissed or side-lined. I have had to learn that, as a poet, my voice is really, really important... regardless of whether anyone hears me, much less understood me.
