In the Realm of Being

Geof Huth reads "365. In the Realm of Being" to Nancy Huth (24 May 2011)

On Tuesday, the 24th of May 2011, I wrote the 365th poem for my 365 ltrs project, a huge rambling set of poems written one a day over the course of an entire year. This 365th poem was to my wife Nancy Huth, who celebrated her fiftieth birthday on that day, the last day I myself was fifty. I stayed home for the entire day to write this poem, a fifty-page poem in fifty sections, and I finished it after 10:00 pm that night. Then I read the entire poem to Nancy, over the course of 47 minutes, recording it as I did. This audio is that first, and maybe last, performance of that poem. The day was Magic Day, that one day of the year when Nancy and I are the same age. The title of the poem is "365. In the Realm of Being."
