In Performance, on Stage<\/b>,\u00a0The Parliament of Poets: An Epic Poem<\/i>, by Frederick Glaysher.<\/p>\n

Like a story “around a campfire.” \u2014From the Audience.<\/p>\n

“Certainly wowed the crowd at the library with the\u00a0performance<\/b>\u00a0[boldface added] and the words themselves.” \u2014Thom Francis,\u00a0Albany Poets News<\/a><\/i>, New York.<\/p>\n

Thirty years in the making, in late 2012, I finished and published\u00a0The Parliament of Poets: An Epic Poem<\/i>. Now after several public readings and as many reviews,\u00a0my<\/i>\u00a0Kickstarter Project<\/b>\u00a0is to take it to humanity,\u00a0in Performance, on Stage<\/b>, at a Michigan theatre, in 2014. At approximately thirty minutes per chapter, I would read the first three chapters or “Books” of the epic, what has traditionally been called “in medias res,” in the midst of things, a flash-back device, with the action already in mid-stream on the moon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In ancient Greece, the rhapsodes, reciters of epic poetry, an oral art, traveled throughout the Greek world, from city to city, reciting the tales of Homer and other epic poets.\u00a0Nearly thirty-five years ago I had a theatre class in the interpretation of poetry that set me to dreaming of writing an epic poem and then traveling worldwide to recite it. Now I am ready, epic in hand, to commence that journey!<\/p>\n

I believe that the imagination is at the core of all human endeavor, and that an imaginative vision of a New Global, Universal Vision of Life on this Planet\u00a0can help inspire people to make it a reality. Together, from the moon, we can see it.<\/p>\n

I need your help and support to bring the vision we all long for to the attention of humanity. I am painfully aware that I cannot do it alone. I could study and write alone for decades, needed to, but now I must turn to others to aid me in reaching an audience. I don’t have the financial resources to do it alone. I need $9,625 to take my epic poem to humankind! Please help, if you can…<\/p>\n

Alas, my Kickstarter Project has failed to reach its funding goal. February 14, 2014<\/p>\n

Lord Apollo does not approve of my plan. Seeking his will, I have already dispatched a retainer to the Shrine at Delphi. The oracle hath sent back, once again, this cryptic poem,<\/p>\n

Today being the ancient Greek holiday of St. Valentine’s Day, I shall retire to a glade to sport with Amaryllis in the shade, but will mull over his riddle as best I can…<\/p>\n
